Have You Seen - 10 Characteristics of Great Audiophile Sound
I ran across this article: 10 Characteristics of Great Audiophile Sound and wanted to share on Audiogon (as I think it makes some great points) and secondly to ask this community if there are any other characteristics you would add as further discussion points?
For my own amusement I’ve scored my subjective level of achievement against the 10 characteristics and that was an interesting exercise too that you might like to use to rate your audiophile sound?

#11 System should exhibit "slam" when called for. This is different than punchy bass from a sub and I saw no mention of it. #12 System should be able to play back undistorted at the original level, in its intended environment, whether it be in the front row at the Hollywood Bowl, at the California Jam in Ontario, or at the studio mix-down. If you want to "be there" you need to hear it as if you were there.

@toddalin That is good input too, although I suspect the 'being there' at a rock concert slam requires the stack you show in the photo. That level of scale and dynamics needs a room and very special system set-up to achieve that particular greatness. |
