It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Emerson Quartet: live!

I agree. I hear the Emerson Quartet last summer and it was a transcendent experience unapproachable by a recording, not matter how good the recording is. It is like the being in the same room with a person vs talking on Skype. I have also recently heard quartet performances by the Danish, Keller, Pacifica, and Takacs quartets and they were all amazing performances, with every detail and nuance being manifest. When I listened to the radio broadcast of the Emerson performance a few weeks later it was a pale reflection of the original performance, in spite of being very well recorded.
