Most folks I know would rather watch a live show in person or watch a show on TV or DVD, which would have an inferior sound, but instead will have a lot of visual cues to help trigger emotion.
Watch Vengerov and other musicians doing Czardas. The facial expressions, body language, the movements of fingers and batons , the interplay between the musicians - definitely trigger a lot of emotions and generate goosebumps.

He starts out with a little sweat, but at the end is completely soaked as he is working that harp with his whole body and tongue. As a musician, he gets off on visual cues also. Seeing the crowd go wild makes him and his band given even more...
So do audiophiles perceive music differently, by possibly imagining more or imagining different things when they listen, than the most folks and the musicians?
