Newsflash!!
There is this brand new concept called: live performance.

whoosh.

whoosh yourself. Your above statement is idiotic.
I know Beethoven couldn't listen to music. There were no microphones and
speakers in his day.

whoosh again.

this isn't about beethoven's time.

and live performances usually have speakers and amplifiers, but don't
let that get in the way of your idiotic arguments.

Yes! Chamber music played for small audiences, usually have speakers.
Shessh! Ignorance prevails once again. I regularly go to live
performances where the performers would be horrified at the very thought
of speakers.
Yes microphones are used for a lot of performances. Sound engineers are
regularly employed for a lot of concerts. My objection is your
implication that one cannot hear music unless there are microphones and
speakers.

once again you're arguing just to argue.

the issue under discussion was a home stereo with a photo cartridge in
a turntable versus a cd player as an input source, connected to an
amplifier and speakers.

live performances was *never* under discussion.

Your statement: "it's a bit hard to listen to music if you
don't have speakers or an amplifier."

An unqualified statement.

Another absolute statement by you: " and live performances usually have
speakers and amplifiers, but don't
let that get in the way of your idiotic arguments."

Yet you have the temerity to state that: "live performances were never
under discussion."

I raised the issue, and it was not until you were cornered that you
bleat: "live performances were never under discussion."

And continue to argue when your error is pointed out.
