Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer?

Sincere thanks to all the posters!

I had fun reading them, and learned a lot...

You guys are great to have around, for questions on hifi.

This thread is classic.

We can't even agree on the meaning of 'warm' or 'neutral', which are two of the most used audiophile descriptive terms.

It's hard to communicate if everything is subjective...

I changed my interface from a computer (USB DAC) from a warm one to a more neutral sounding one, and it just sings!

Thank you everyone for your input - made my day...

@Esprits4s, audio is a subjective hobby. Arguing for neutrality in audio reproduction is like arguing what color in a rainbow is closest to grey.

Yes, audio is subjective and certainly no product is 100% transparent as we all know. So we all spend time using words like bright, forward, warm, fast, slow etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. With that said we need a word that means that the product has the least amount of all those noticeable attributes.

If not neutral than what?

Transparent?

Impartial?

Indifferent?

Unbiased?

Bland?

Uncolored?

Natural?

Evenhanded?

Unaffiliated?
