| A deeper more holographic soundstage. Thanks mahgister : ) - I also forgot to say in my comment that it may be many things that contribute to good depth in the sound, but perhaps not as many as I originally believed. So long as a better than average amplifier and speaker system is bei... | |

| What is missing here? @ billzame - hi there, I don’t mean to be contentious regarding your recent point, but I have something that might give you some room for thought - being new to the whole high end audio hifi hobby, I’ve poured over so many articles, reviews and ev... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Snilf - “I have a theory, but it's probably b.s. Violinists all play with vibrato, which constantly, and kind of randomly, varies the tone slightly. With a solo performance, this can be captured unproblematically. But with an entire violin section... | |
