Post Subject: Sort of sad having learned something new...Posted by Axel on: 7/29/2009

Got it! It's -simply- put but 'en-point', thank you.

The catch is, that most ALL systems do not, can not, 'transcribe' this simple but POWERFUL quality, 'greatness'.
Even some really BIG systems I've heard can sound 'bourgeois' only, and some even 'petit bourgeois' and that is just so far removed from 'Greatness' and letting greatness of performance transpire I.E. not butcher it in the process of re-play (if it was there in the first place, of the original recorded performance).

Most systems are pushing some fancy baby-pram (include ~ my own, money, money, money), some pull a more up-stage carrosse or coach, but very few have that great stately form of 'transport' when called on to perform --- which then in turn may truly be able to 'transport' the listener.

Now, I'm feeling sort of sad having learned something new --- lost another piece of naïveté about this darn audio business.

I really mean it,
Axel
