Further thoughts on high quality playback systems as it pertains to playing guitars:
First let me say, IMO, there is no playback system that's beats a live performance. Having said that, a high resolution audio system can allow you to hear every nuance of the performance as if the performance is being held in the room with you. This equates to hearing a performers technique in precise detail, as long as this quality is in the recorded performance.
It can be a great tool for working the last bit of nuance in your own technique. Or can be discouraging to hear how far you have to go!
I'll take Pierre Bensusan live in my room any day, haha.
