Wow the site looks one of those pseudo scientific snake oil cottage companies of hifi audio accessories.I think if we put the $5k cello on some of these
it may sound like the $180k one.

This is one question I always had in mind. When one hears live music, you still listening it via a microphone, an amp and speakers, unless you are in a private session where you are hearing the live, acoustic version. So why do we think it will be very different?I have heard the cello many times live. I have to tell you that the best recordings played back on a very high resolution system and you sitting in the sweet spot in front of those speakers can only take you close to the experience. Never equal it. Some things will never get captured by even the best microphone. When you listen to the recordings via youtube, there are so many variables and limitations which takes you further and further away from the true experience. I am unsure how we can understand the true differences between these cellos if we do it this way. We will hear some differences due to some fundamental ( macro level nature ) of these differences but those may not be what a musician is looking out for when they play and listen to it live. What do you guys think ?
It depends on what you are trying to evaluate.This is one question I always had in mind.
