Mid level listening
I think that when listening to music it’s best to intently listen for the music rather than to the beauties of the sound production. In my opinion that is the most enduring pleasure you can get from your system. Unfortunately, for whatever reason it doesn’t always happen. When you can’t seem to get fully into the music there’s something I’m calling mid level listening where you listen for the enjoyment of both SQ and the music itself. I know ideally that should always happen to a great degree but it doesn’t always, which leads us to be dissatisfied with our rig.
What do you think?
well, I just listen to the music I like. no need to overanalyse. I notice little and subtle things, but I don’t go listening to a song for a specific section only. that would be miserable. If I like a song, I like it as a whole.
Thankfully I have a setup that lends itself to just letting the music shine and that is all it does. No over editorialisation with its own tone. Just true to the song being listened to |

@cdc yeah I decided to go straight to the end and not do too much merry go round tinkering.
Glad I did that cos I now go to audio shows to just enjoy new gear without any itch to get any. |
