| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) Could we please just ignore this fool? | |
| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) Great music, mahgister. Brilliant spontaneous creativity and wonderful Haydn. Thanks! | |
| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) rixthetrick, of course it refers to how it’s portrayed in playback systems. Style of music is not the issue; nor is dancing, although I suspect that a good dancer reacts to what I refer to. Some pieces of gear simply do a much better job of portra... | |
| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) Interesting; and interesting comments.Some are simply not wired to be particularly discerning; generally, in some cases and specifically in others. One comes across this in relation to different areas of life and not only as concerns sound. As the... | |
| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) **** There is some large differences in intelligence, ****Obviously. | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? “tonally bleached out”. Great description that I use often. “Gray”. Can’t stand that type of sound. Instrumental sounds have a lot of natural color. | |
| High expectations when listening to an orchestra Correct (natural) instrumental timbre and micro dynamics are the two aspects of reproduced orchestral sound most important for me. Putting those aside, one of the most commonly cited problems with reproduced orchestral sound is the inability of so... | |
| High expectations when listening to an orchestra **** and let me tell you that much talent produces a vibe and you feel it and for the first time in my life it was like who the f--k cares about the sound it’s the fricken ..... ****Yup! | |

| High expectations when listening to an orchestra hilde45, they are not opposed at all. So, you are suggesting that since absolutely perfect realism cannot be achieved that one shouldn’t at least try to get a good part of the way there? For me, realism means correct (or, as close to it as possi... | |
| High expectations when listening to an orchestra I’m tempted to ask: “And this is news?”I guess I just did. Of course it won’t sound like the real thing. Who would expect that it would? It’s a recording. I do, however, find it surprising that some are so willing to give up and not strive for as ... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Me too. I appreciate both aspects of the experience, but some don’t and don’t feel they are missing much. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, not as familiar as I probably should be. Great player based on what I’ve heard. I heard him live once with Dexter Gordon and have him on a handful of records by Arthur Blythe and Curtis Lundy. | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? tomcy6, fair question, I will try and clarify.mahgister puts it well and as an extension of philbarone’s succinct comment, “musicians listen to the content of the music before the sound of it”:I believe that I acknowledged that well chosen (!) hig... | |
| Live music finally! Finally! Fantastic news. The shutdown has had a tremendous impact on the live music scene. Everything from many early (earlier) retirements of orchestral musicians, to the type of programming that will be heard. Expect to hear fewer of the larger ... |
