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,

I think I have used that recently and I meant that the sound was lacking body - on a frequency response graph there would be a dip in frequency response in the approximate area of 150 - 300 hz which results in a 'lean' sound, so something like a saxaphone sounds more like a tenor saxaphone instead of having weight and tone in the lower frequencies.
