@fai_v - just keep in mind that sometimes TOO much detail is not desirable and can be distracting - try to listen to as much gear as you can to see how your EDM sounds on it - good luck!
As a chill electronica listener, should I stop at a Med-Fi system?
Hi All,
As an electronica music listener of chill, downtempo, folk, and similar music, is there any point of me seeking an ultra high resolution system...DAC, cables, power conditioning..etc?
If its all about the source material, much of the music i listen to is not an orchestra or live band with lots of microphones, so I'm assuming there's not a ton of imaging and micro-detail going on.
Is there, then, any purpose to seeking equipment that can resolve all of those little details? Should i just stop at a healthy Mid-Fi System?

@larsman I believe when it comes to electronica you want all the details. |
@all I feel as if i will have to re-do my system and start with a sensitive speaker, like Omega Super Alnico. Then i can get used to hearing more detail, and increase components along the way (DAC, cables, etc) to get even more detail. I'm currently using Bryston Mini-Ts and they have enjoyable sound, plus low bass, so i'm going to keep them...but i definitely need to try out a much more sensitive offering to hear what detail is all about. I might even consider electrostatic speakers i'm not sure. |
