This is a fools chase… you either get inside the music or your hung up on stats and numbers and diagnoses telling you the music is good.Hows your hearing…? thats the only way to determine if your happy with what your have.. its so simple either you like your creation or you dont…or if you can even tell the dam difference anyway
"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.

As most of you are im pretty old. I think music accompanied most of through our lives via transistor radio in stores you name it. The way i see it the music of my youth takes me back in time to places and memories of the past. Now just like going to an old neighborhood, it's fine to get there in a Subaru but I'd rather drive a nice luxury sedan or SUV. The ride to the memories makes the memories even sweeter. |
@paqua123 The issue I have with your analogy is that the luxury sedan doesn't have anything to do with the memories. But for me, the sound qualities of the system have a musical meaning. A good example is quality of the micro and macro dynamics. I'm mainly focused on classical so my reference (and my memories from youth) is live acoustic music. |
