That's the reason why I will never drive Porsche, that would be a ticket to cemetery right away.
Anyone who will get insulted - this has nothing to do with me.
" One's perception is one's reality ". And I am outside of it. |
Michael, languages are untranslatable. If the language is digital you must not convert it into analog, you must take it as it is. This is for machines not humans, as we are now.
Geoff, yeah, no argument about that. |
Michael, how can you advocate the old soulful ways when you use digital source as a reference ? You can't make good stuff from s...
In fact, in my experience many if not most people can hear pretty well, as far as I can tell. Yeah, my musician friend sometimes harassed me - can't you hear that ? The hell I couldn't. Hearing should not be perfect but it should be good to be able to "feel the message in music".
So, people here who brag about how great their digital based system sounds are either BSing me or can't hear a thing. It never sounds great, it can sound tolerable - that's all. |
Inna knows what he is doing. Go on. |
Play any instrument or hear anyone's voice, there are so many nuances, some of which are probably perceived beyond our awareness, at least in the beginning. Perception and its processing are very complex and not fully understood things. To a degree it is individual, subjective, but the foundation is common.
"Sensitive hearing" is a talent, an art form. |
I am not against compensation if it works and if you know what you are doing.

How many of you speak more than one language fluently ? Try to translate and you will see that it will never be good enough, even relatively close languages. Not dialects, that's different. And that is analog into analog translation. Try to translate poetry and you will see even more clearly. I read many books in two languages, translations varied from pretty good to ridiculous, never good enough.
Musicians often don't have great set-up because for them it is all far from real. They can listen to boombox just for outlines and ideas. Besides, they are already musicians. |
Stringreen, great post, man. |
Farce indeed. But I wouldn't be too harsh, some people are trying to find their voice and start by spreading caca all over the place.
Elizabeth, if you can hear sh.t that's impressive. |
han_n,
I see. Probably your choice of speakers also influences which one of the two you prefer. Swiss know transistors well, no doubt. |
Finally. Someone has a great transistor amp - Gryphon. How is FM Acoustics compared to Gryphon if you are familiar ? |
You are very lucky.
Do you know what Flemming Rasmussen once said about his top of the line amplifier ?
He said - This one will wake up dead Eskimo !
Greenland is part of Kingdom of Denmark, there are Eskimo living there. |
Such a loud voice but no music. |
Two approaches: one - the worse the hearing the better equipment needed, another - the opposite.
And yet another approach - better equipment without paying any attention to the above. |
