A good musician will play on, behind, or ahead of the beat, resulting in the "feel" of a musical presentation...that’s timing, and if my hifi rig does any of those things on its own I’ll assume I’ve lost my mind.
Amp "timing" ?
I was reading someone raving about the impeccable "timing" of their high-end amp this morning. I have heard this term tossed around several times recently in my dive back into highish-end audio.
Can someone please explain what is meant by this term? Is it snake-oil or confirmation bias? I just don't understand how a human can hear a timing difference of a soundwave unless it's a 2nd+ order reflection.
Thoughts?
