My understanding of the term relates to a good sound stage being three dimensional. A not so good sound stage would be spread right to left OK but with limited or no depth, in other words the musicians and instruments are like cardboard cutouts with no depth or "flesh" on them. Fleshing them out indicates there is good depth to the image and enhances the perception that real people are playing in your room. The other definitions are pretty good, too. A lot of audiophile terms are poorly defined and used a little too loosely to be certain what the writer really means!
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
