Zu Soul Superfly

I'm not sure I did make your point. I would agree with you that toe tapping is a bad way to put it but certainly you would agree that timing is not equal for all gear and despite similar measurements, our ears can detect the difference between something resolving faster and something a little slower and more laid back--a recent examples I've had personal experience with would be like a Dynavector 17D2 vs a Koetsu Rosewood Sig.

Granted many people will prefer the Koetsu, but would you at least agree there is a difference in the Pace Rhythm and timing?

I thinks it's a waste of time to debate and/or discuss meaningless/nebulous terms such as PRaT, organic, musical, etc.

They are purely subjective and listener dependent.

Thanks and good luck.

Anyone else get their Superflys yet? I'm surprised there has been next to no feedback from anyone else.

I called Zu today about going up for an audition and was told that the next batch of Souls are being burned in right now and should be shipped in about two weeks.

Fair enough, Audiofeil.

I would add though that I wasn't so much trying to debate right vs. wrong as much as I wanted to effectively communicate my own (subjective) preferences to try and establish a point of reference for associated equipment recommendations.

Audiofeil,

Surely the whole point of audio forums like this is to assist in refining the use of subjective language. If you don't have subjective language then you're left with what? Measurements? It hardly needs saying that we don't measure audio by objective standards so what else are we left with?

The reality is that just because has different meanings to different people does not in itself render the term invalid. Pain is also subjective. Does that mean it's nit there or that some commonality cannot be found?

When Phil talked of the darkness of Druids I knew what he meant and he explairned it further for those who didn't. I have Naim kit which in the past has been all about PRAT although arguably less so nowadays. These terms are all subjective. What else would you replace them with to articulate the strengths and wesknessesof kit?
