What exactly is textural density??
Good post and I agree. His attempt at a description points, once again, to the issue of harmonic truthfulness (timbre).The use and better understanding of terms (“resourceful prose”) that are rooted in musicology to describe the perceived sonic qu... 
What exactly is textural density??
I think we are conflating a couple of things. I don’t think this is about which voice or instrument has, in real life, more or less textural (tonal) density than another. While different voices or instrumental sounds obviously have different harmo... 
What exactly is textural density??
“Realism” has everything to do with the correct expression of the naturally occurring harmonics (overtones) in the timbre of musical instruments. Audio equipment does not discriminate. If a piece of audio gear does not correctly reproduce the natu...

Effects of cables on phono volume
OP, are you sure you are not confusing perceived change in dynamics for change in volume? My current AudioNote straight to preamp tone arm wire is noticeably more dynamic or alive sounding than the previously used Cardas.  That, combined with the ...

**** Speaking of Miles’ new group, what is the primary thing a leader looks for in selecting band members? ****No. 1- “Can I work with this guy?” “Is he an a-hole?” Doesn’t matter how great the player is, if the personality is not a fit then all b...
