Post Subject: About Audio and Cooking desires.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/22/2015

Let leave music alone. I am taking about pure audio and I do not need the "ordinary suspects" to drop public tears and shriek that audio is all about music. If I decided to waste one of my evenings during a Seattle or Singapore visits and to spend time in a company of a new to me audio installation of a local aborigine then it is not because I need to learn how to phrase the opening "Farewell to Life" from the Bruckner 9. I have specific audio interests and all that I would like to have is to be amused and ask myself: how the hell they did it?

I know audio, I think I do. I have seen/hear to some extent. I do not have in-depth theoretical knowledge of many audio subjects but I do have a lot of ability to apple common sense in audio and a lot of guts to experiment with it. I also have no problem to recruit for my needs some very deep specialists who dig for me in audio the questions that I have developed during my audio practice. All of it, and many other things, gave to me experiences that enable me very fast and very accurate recognize and to a great degree to predict audio results. Consequentially I very seldom surprised in audio and usually if I hear any very bad or very good audio results then I do have a very clear reasoning why and how that good or bad was accomplished. Still, very seldom I come across to the situations that delivered to me absolute amazement and I ask myself: how the hell THAT was done?

It is no deferent that cooking.

I love cooking. I am not so good cook and mostly what I cook is eatable only if you like me too much. It is not that I cook very badly but I do not have a talent to it and some of my cooking taste good and some taste like shit. However, since I do practice cooking I can go to a restaurant and kind of reverse engineer the meal that I liked. Sometimes and not so infrequently, I come across meals that are spectacular and I have no idea how that eatable beauty was made. There is more to it. Sometimes and not so infrequently, I come across meals that so much further then my familiarity of anything in cooking that I absolutely feel demolished by huge gap between my understandings, somebody's cooking capacity and multiplied by the mind-twisting taste of the meals. THAT is what I always am craving to experience in audio.

Play to me your playback and make me wonder. Let me leave your house not with the ugly face and feeling that I wasted one more evening in my life but rather make me to experience ownership envy, playback design mystery and infinite sense of curiosity…. "How the hell that was done" is not a question but rather a state of mind…..
