Is there miracles in audio experience ?

Is there miracles in audio experience ?
 
For me there is miracles...
 
Any scientific observed phenomenon is a miracle...
 
The "law" or the principle guided experiment coming from it describe the phenomena and make us able to predict some aspect of it but WHY is this so is not explained ...
 
And we can also be amazed by any scientific predicted fact ....
 
The fact that the sun is here after the moon each day is a miracle even if we are able to explain it by the stability of orbits ... How these orbits can be so stable anyway is also a matter of mathematical amazement ...
 
Only idiots are never amazed by anything ...They think that they understood already 😁...
 
Ultimately we dont understand reality , this is the truth , and knowing why we dont understand, even when many think they do or in spite of the fact that many dont even are bothered by the mysteries , is the root of any scientific progress ...
 
Myself i am amazed by Helmholtz resonators... A simple and paradoxically at the same time very complex fact in acoustic...
 
My speakers which are Helmholtz resonators indeed as any speakers are , very small one with 4 inches woofer drivers, were modified by me with a bundle of straws with different lenghts inserted in the rear porthole ...
 
The result is a miracle ...( with other less spectacular but efficient modifications and optimization i added )
 
I go near 50 hertz now with a speakers specs officially marked 80 hertz...
 
I dont need a sub now to listen music ... my speakers are low cost M-audio AV 40 which i bought 12 years ago and which i disliked for all this time in spite of their positive reviews which were the reason why i bought them ...I never use them for music BEFORE optimizing them ...They cost peanuts ...😊
 
They are now after acoustic controls and treatment so good they fill the small room ...Now i love them ...
 
Miracles are simply sets of natural facts in which we participate as an active element... ...It is call science , spirituality and music and acoustic working together ...
Fell free to communicate your own " miracle" experience ...

I think I know what you mean, but we would use very different language. I only use the word miracle in fun. If I do something well, that I typically do poorly, “It’s a miracle I did it correctly”!

In reality, I was trained and worked as a scientist for a decade, but never lost my fascination and curiosity about the world around me. I have never ceased to be a scientist. Scientific laws, like basic physical and chemical principles just blew me away… I took undergrad and graduate chemistry at the same time… the difference was we had tools well over 100 times more accurate in the graduate level chem. I could start measuring a physical constant in the under graduate lab to two decimals… then keep going another three in the graduate class.The beauty and absolute certainty of the outcome no matter how far down you measured is just so inspiring and unchanging. It shows the absolute certainty of the physical world. I very nearly became a physicist.

There is all of the incredible non-relativistic principles; expansion of bridge spans, freezing of water, coefficient of friction, Brownian motion, acceleration, the strong force, weak force. Then there is turbulence and chaotic behavior, and Quantum entanglement is so amazing and mind expanding.

 

I love high end audio, I very quickly dropped virtually any use of measurements pretty quickly. This is scientific as well. If you are in an area with too many variables, then observation becomes the primary tool. Surveying, creating classifications and slowly working towards understanding. My observation has been that great systems sound magical. So, what I want is a magical system. I use my knowledge of high end audio to get there. Magical sounding systems are in our head. Most folks exposed to a truly great system will experience the magic. It may not be their perfect system… this is what really well set up Wilson systems have been to me… incredible, magical… but not what I want if I can only have one system. My system, to me is magical and a very realistic representation of real music. It is magic.
