What is it.........


About hearing a certain song say over an AM car radio that even a high end system doesnt seem to convey the same emotion or soul of the song?

Imo, emotion or soul of the song is not conveyed well on poor audio systems.

Its like saying as a somgwriter you better hope everyone has a great system....

All of the emotion and soul lies in the song itself not the system its played on.

Actually a highly resolving system ruins otherwise great somgs by revealing shortcomings in the recording.

Take great mono cuts on a car radio needs absolutely no help conveying its soul.
@uberwaltzYou get it!

Thats the downside of this hobby in that our systems often dont make listening to otherwise great songs enjoyable.
We are going off on tangent....
Its not about Ferraris or Sonus Fabers etc ....
It an old classic car radio that produces a haunting piece of music in a way no high end system can.  Yes we can include enviroment...but its that "X" factor in the sound that is just so complete and satisfying from that old car radio and what was coming thru it.
No expectations.  I just think its the scale of the music from a simple car AM radio that creates MoJo.  Sometimes less air and dimension in sound is a plus.. That is why many high end systems fail at playing the Rock Genre for example.

When ypu click next trying to listen to song you really like and you know you have heard it before on a system supposedly way down in class...your system has failed you. If it starts dictating what music you listen to well in my opinion its time to sell it.
