Post Subject: Amy and Regenerator, almost like the Peter and Wolf.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/16/2013

Last night I put wify in listening chair, insisted her do not slide in the couch into her typical "monkey on a tree" pose and asked her to listen some sound. I put the slow opening of Merlitons dance from Nutcracker and played to her a few times, flipping the PP3000+ in and out of bypass mode. Amy clearly acknowledged the difference but when I asked her to describe to me the difference I was very surprised. The poor creature is a absolutely not familiar with the audio lingo and she begun to explain to me the deference she heard it from a position of a sting player. It was fan to hear from her that in regeneration mode the sound was more "resonant".... The fanny part was in the end. I asked her what type sound she prefers. She suggested that any of them was fine with her. This is very much what we spoke with de Charlus a few days back:

The sound for musicians is not a final destination but juts a canvas upon wich they paint music. For us, the audio guys, sound we get, would it be from amps, speaker or regenerators, is a final outcome and we hardly even can change it. For musicians sound they hear is just an input parameter into their intentions. Hearing one or another type of sounds from the the regenerator Amy does not recognize it as “result” but rather she recognize it as a new conditions for her viola and she would be able to play the same music but differently if tone or dynamic range of her instrument would be altered by characteristic of let say the power regenerator.
