"audiophiles listen to their equipment"
That quote is misattributed to Alan Parsons, as I understand. Anyway saying there's a problem with wanting good sound is like saying an instrument designer, aiming for beautiful sound, could not possibly be a music lover and is only interested in the sound of the instruments. I.e. the sound is inseparable from the music. For me the beauty of the sound, good microdynamics, and so on, are the "doors" to the meaning of the music.
@stuartk all of the musicians I know are very much into tone
these tend to be guitar players, keyboard players, bass players, the sound of their instrument / their equipment is an essential part of their whole process for the audiophiles their equipment is the instrument… Changing the gear overtime is their contribution to the process of creativity, no different than musicians, changing their instrument or gear chain |
So you don't own a good system yet you're sure AC cables have no effect ? Am I hearing you It's not crazy money to get a system capable of hearing AC cables ... under $10,000. You've had decades ... you have $10,000 what's needed is the intention and effort to listen. audiophiles don't record music or play music so their "creative" satisfaction is to adjust their system. It's satisfying and I'm all for it ... as a musician you should be too. They pay for music. They love music. |
@stuartk my mistake. Cables was another thread audio listeners create a system, and they upgrade their equipment just like musicians play instruments and upgrade their instruments… It’s the same thing, I don’t know why you can’t comprehend that but it’s the same thing
the instrument is part of it for the musician just like the equipment is part of it for the listener, same thing |
