What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
PS - I don’t think you can force this experience of awe or musicality...whatever you want to call it. It happens when IT pleases or perhaps more aptly when Someone Else pleases. All you can try to do is prepare the space for it to happen...as much... 
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
mahgister - To me, the "awe musical experience" vs "musicality" (as might be experienced during playback of recorded music) are two separate things.  "Awe" and "musicality" might overlap but I can easily imagine hearing a nicely musical audio syst... 
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
mahgister -Gotcha...okay. The critical requirement. What is absolutely essential for the "awe musical experience" is the music/composition itself. Case in point, driving home at night listening to music on the car radio. Stravinsky’s "Symphony of ... 
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?

Which Transparent speaker cable to chose?
Talk (call, don't bother with email) to the guys at The Cable Co. in New Hope, PA.  See what they suggest.  Borrow a few things from their lending library.  $ on the rental fee can be used on a purchase.  Me personally, quite happy with the balanc... 
Strange turntable/speaker issue
