Music first or sound first?


I just thought it might be interesting to take a poll of those that put sound first and those that claim they put music first in listening to their rigs.

Music makes me feel something or it’s just sound. It can be perfect sound, amazing sound and surreally real sound. A car starting, a hammer dropping - just noise. A heart beating, a wish, a lost love, a triumphant victory. That’s music. That the system communicates it well is paramount.

There is no “first”, or a “major - minor” binary choice. The music appreciation is a direct function of the necessary system IMO. 

sure ,..you  can technically listen to the best “ music” on a “system” composed of a POS build and worse POS+ audio, performance Airbuds from a crap smartphone. 

Rather, you can actually enjoy the music played on a high-end system 

TAKEAWAY

The two factors are irrevocably equally stapled together…full stop.

On a much more serious note for those coming down on the side of MUSIC, i am finding this book to be excellent:

This is What It Sounds Like by Susan Rogers and Oge Ogas

Treat yourself to the audio book and light up a different part of your brain…. 

Thanks to you i bought it and it seems very interesting read...

Original book about what our choices in music revealed about us and what are the factors that attract us toward some music...It seems stimulating read but fun too ...
