What exactly is textural density??


I’m sorry, I am new to the high end audio world. I read this sentence and could not understand any of it. Can you help?

This enhanced textural density seemed good because when I’ve experienced it before, it indicated that the transducer was tracking the signal like a race car with fresh, sticky tires.

"....one thing that struck me over the " a race car with fresh, sticky tires " comment is the fact that cold 'fresh, sticky tires' on a race car can fail to stick..."
Good catch, even if I say so, as that was my thought in my first post here. I did not elaborate as I thought that millercarbon would catch that detail.

 "As far as tires go, maybe it is not the best comparison."
"...never went through what you did..."

A course in German it was not.
I am still wondering about accuracy of the statement about "da dork" in German. For one, it would be "da Dork". If the statement were accurate somehow, assuming one of the localized dialects.
Now, when we figured out what textural density is, we have to connect it to tires. Any takers?
"Eg, that one could be filed under spleen venting, with a side order of sales pitch."
Has anyone actually ordered a sales pitch? Ever?
"...do you know what da dork means in German?"

Hmmm, even if the "dork" were correct, where would "da" fit in there?
Wait, is this an introduction to the next thread about semantics and poetry?

"I could explain that in detail but those understandings are hard to come by and represent serious IP value.

I’ll go as far to say that it is definitely there but I’m not obligated to explain it to anyone. Science should be free, IMO and IME, but this is conflated business, in this case..."

There is a blank space to be filled before submittting for publication and, eventually, getting paid. "It sounded much better than model XY" does not do it.

As far as tires go, maybe it is not the best comparison.
