The new sound is to the old sound like hi res video is to what came before, ie sharp and clear not soft and fuzzy. That’s it really.
Describe the "new HiFi sound"?
Recently had a discussion with an audio friend over the word "musical" and what this word means to each of us with regard to sound from different amplifiers and speakers. Some debate too. And, reading this other comment on Agon once in a while...how some equipment has the "new HiFi sound".
ASK:
Can someone describe this, in your words, what is the new HiFi Sound to you? Examples? Or, opposites of the new HiFi sound, what does this sound like?

@decooney I apologize to you. You stated in your post, " relative to amps and speakers ", and I took it somewhere else. My best ! MrD. |
@kota1 Aperion Audio SuperTweeters…not very expensive but add a bit of air, of course I’m running through transparent cable network to get rid of the grunge! |
No apology necessary, no limits here ...this merely highlights there are many different factors involved from the original live performances, gear used in the old days too, pickups, mics, cabling, recordings, mastering, reproduction formats, amps, speakers and more. Kinda funny - my buddy who just retired now uses a tube DAC in his recently completed commercial recording and mastering studio. Shhhh, dont tell anyone. Sort of made me think again about what has changed past 50 years at all layers, from original sources to play back. All relevant discussion, enjoy! 👍 |
