Gera, check back and you will see that I was hypothicizing; I did not say or suggest that my listening is less and less critical, although there are times when I am not "listening in" to the music but I am only in the midst (or, the mist...) of it. And I generally agree that optimizing the sound system for a certain kind of music can be limiting But I do think that "less demanding" listening of "less demanding" or "less loaded" music allows the "listener" "more slack" where the playback is concerned. And conversely, I think that critical listening to "serious", complex and/or loaded music requires "more" from the playback to "deliver" more of the musical goods to the critical listener without screwing things up too much. I posted fairly recently that I also think sound, per se, is an important consideration for "proper" playback, since sound is so important to the music, itself. I am also aware that some people either do not hear or they are simply not bothered by the effects of DSP. And I say, seriously, good for them. In fact, I eagerly await the time when I am not bothered by DSP X/Os, since it would make things a lot easier. I hope you will share any good news on that front.

Best regards,
Paul S
