What kind of equipemnt do they have?? To judge performance, a discman is more than enough! So anything better than that is already a fantastic bonus. If you need to listen to details, maybe you can bring along a decent pair of head or ear phones. In the abscence of room acoustical factors plauging almost all audio systems high end or otherwise, using head/earphones are as good as it gets. Just that you have no proper representation of soundstage maybe.Anyway, I just shared with you how I look for my CDs and music. Typically the length of time for me to look for something vary quite a fair bit. From 15 seconds (i.e. the Kreisler play Kreisler) to 4 months (Chopin Ballades) to 2 years (Beethoven's violin concerto)
Don't mean to 'ram' my opinion down your throat but it does seem that you concerns seemed quite contrary to evaluating the musical performance.
Just my personal opinion. Cheers.
