What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?


Once in awhile, I hear the term 'this amp is more musical' for some amps. To describe sound, I know there is 'imaging' and 'sound stage'. What exactly is meant by 'more musical' when used to describe amp?

@zlone You should do some reading about Lyngdorf’s approach. Their integrated offerings is sort of a big brother, little brother situation, whichever one you can afford. It’s literally the same level of both performance and sound, one with considerably more power than the other, and also flexibility in how you can use it b/c you can add on modules if you like. I actually have the first generation, which I would say is the middle child b/c it has the adaptability of the additional modules, and also a lil more power than the little guy.

All of the reviews I read said that the little guy is completely competent and that it’s sort of an identical sound ... the bigger more expensive model literally just has more power and adaptability. They are both very musical.

The Room Perfect software is what makes the magic happen. I recommend you check it out, in your search.

Fun thread.

Musical is when everything! congeals.

And systems tend to be like paintings, in a sense. If you think about it, the painting is the artist’s interpretation of their own reality. And their expression is the way they’re presenting that! reality.

Lots of elements are involved IN the interpretation, the making of it. The same way our systems create the sound we perceive in our brains. The Musicality.

I guess you sort of have to have an artist’s mind to view it this way. Probably also helps if you smoke a lil weed. : )

@mahgister would love to hear your perspective on this.

@mahgister I find it interesting, what you have to say about medicine. Are you a doctor of some sort?

My experience is that traditional medicine here in the US has become much more about the science and almost devoid of art. I think doctors who participate in managed care have their hands tied behind their back when it comes to the art part because they're so bound by protocols. This is what I've been told by other doctors who've sought my help along the way.

The reason I appreciate what you say about the art and science is because I practice a type of healing that I perform with my hands, which gives it a very heavy artistic component. And that's something I love about the work I do, it's very much a science, but imo even more of an art, which is why it's been such a rewarding career for me personally.

The objective of the treatment is to restore as much of the normal movement of the tissues of the musculoskeletal system as possible, and the lesion that I'm treating with my hands is the restriction in the vertebral joint. As the normal movement is restored to whatever degree possible, it allows the body to do what it was intended to do in the first place, which is to heal itself.
