what is the meaning of this???

ok. Maybe I'm just dense. Maybe it's just another piece of ambiguous audiphile jargon. Perhaps it's a new term that Audiophile Newbies are using...I just don't know anymore.

What is meant by the term 'fleshed-out'. As in, the sound was very fleshed-out. The speakers/ amp/ DAC or whatever seemed to make the sound more 'fleshed out'.

I have read this several times on Audiogon, but I still, to date, don't have a definite idea of what this means. (I do have an idea of what it means, but I'd like to get some others' definitions first).

thanks,

Steve

"Fleshed out" is a term used by a hunter (or trapper), when the skin and fat are removed from a carcass. In this instance, I would expect it to be used in reference to "getting to the meat". The meat being the music, as opposed to hearing the electronics.

But what do I know?

That should have read "skin and fur". You need the fat for flavor...
