Simulation Vs Real Things

  This seems to be pretty common attitude of all you elitest analog
enthusiest and I agree with you. Everyone wants the real thing, why
recreate it when you can have the REAL thing. The question I pose to all
of you out there is how many of you own some sort of surround sound
system. Or how many of you are interested in ambisonic or other forms of
3-D sound. Those systems too are nothing more than attempts to recreate
an acoutical environment. I would hope that we are not hypocrites here!
