Detail is great, precise 3D imaging with huge soundstage, sure why not. These things certainly add to the experience. But the minute you achieved correct timbre of instruments and have very musical system that carries rhythm and makes you engaged. The minute it makes you want to listen to more and more there's no actual need to go any further. As fidelity is concerned you need a certain level of it to achieve the above.

@gdprentice...Agreed....! Musicality. You sum it up....."Although it has all the details, it is not as if details are in a spotlight." Hjghly detailed systems for me lose out in musicality. It is less natural. To the other poster re dichotomy and budget restraints.....this is the high end audio mentality that lends nothing but bad vibes to the hobby. |
@boomerbillone Ishksbibil on Bass @ 18 in '79 https://youtu.be/VPx3qjwyVww Toronto Alberts Hall with Peter Appleyard. Is that a clarinet in the opening? Sounds like it on my Galaxy S7 (free phone) and 3 years old........ Need I spend $$$ for accuracy? |
@audition............... As my system continues to improve, compression on recordings my be the single thing that bothers me the most. Thats where I am going with this if you notice increased compression when fidelity increases.......the system is less musical. There is some spectacular mid fi systems out there... |
