you mean the "As if i was there" feeling, right?
that's the only "good" way and the way it was meant to be since the invention of record/playback.

the first time they recorded an opera singer and listened to the playback at the studio, someone (can't remember who) said something like: "this is a perfect reproduction, i can't see how it could be improved".
