Sir, I think we can solve the question of whether a Soatapanna anugami can become Sotapanna: (1) by reading true Dhamma or (2) by listening to recorded desana by an Ariya or (3) only by listening to a desana directly from an Ariya, in an indirect way.
From the discussion at this “How to live a householder life with stream entry or higher magga-phala?” and your comment about Mr. Tobias G, I can assume that Mr. Tobias G has attained Sotapanna Stage (may this be a correct assumption). Now will Mr. Tobias, be kind enough to tell us if he has ever listened desana directly from an Ariya (e.g. Lal) or he has only read and listened recorded desanas from an Ariya. If he has never personally met an Ariya and listened to his/her desana, that we can safely assume that listening to recorded desanas of an Ariya, as late Ven. Waharaka Thero has mentioned is correct.
