Every piano I ever seen is locked up so no one can play it. Something to do with chopsticks I am told, whatever that is.

If everything sounds clear and is in the right proportions, but is not convincing enough to provide your brain with an emotional experience, the system is likely analytical sounding. If the system consistently transports you into the performance so that you can forget about how the system sounds, odds are good it's a musical sounding system.
...transparency, resolution, and micro dynamics are more critical than perfect tonal balance, because that’s what reveals the space where the performance takes place....either your brain buys it, or it doesn’t, but it’s also heavily dependent on the recording at hand. This. Study this. Print it, cut it out, tape it to your monitor. Read until memorized. If your goal is an audio system for enjoying listening to music then you will want a musical system. If your goal is to have charts and graphs and jargon to talk tech then you want analytical. Thus the First Commandment of Audiophile: Know Thyself. |
