It's hard to describe in words what we are hearing. I've changed my taste over time. For me musical means pleasing to my ear but not maybe exactly the exact true tone that was recorded. Small colorations if you insist. This is what I like but I know it's not quite exact.
Overly detailed for me is something that is very exacting but so much so that I can only hear the flaws on what otherwise is a decent recording. I don't believe in "The absolute sound" anymore, I believe in the art of the recording. I want my hi-fi to sound like... well, like hi-fi, good hi-fi. I've never been more happy with my system, I'm 52 and I'm buying more music than I ever have. I'm not on "the merry go round" and I'm still buying new gear, every purchase brings new enjoyment but unlike in the past the number of my old records that sound good is increasing not diminishing. In the past it was the other way around, to the point where only about 10 albums were worth playing. 35 years in the hobby and I've never had more fun.
Thanx for listening,
Russ
