A room a studio, a concert hall even outdoors they all contribute to the sound you finally hear.When I was a kid on Saturday nights there was a bar across the street from where I lived .The guys would sing Doo woop under the no 7 IRT train line the el was concert and it had an echo you could hear for blocks.These guys ,some of them anyway sounded so great.Just them sing under the El.......
How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music?
I basically know what an instrument or human voice sounds like. I understand that almost all recordings, analog or digital, go through some level of processing. I also know that there are many, many recordings which strive to present a natural, real sound. To me, I can best judge a system playing lightly or non processed acoustic music.
This is also my preference for listening in general. And for me, it is vinyl.
