Newtohorn, I think my comment about +1.5db on S2
drivers a bit taken out of context and I think I was the one who started to do
it. I do shape sound in some way how I feel it should be shale but what I do should
not be taken in context of Josh’s comments. I was trying to interpret his comment
about his reported “harshness” but then I understood that what he call “harshness”
is not what I call the “S2 forwardness”. It is hard to understand if you do not
know what Josh and I were talking about. I very much certain that we are NOT
talking about the same even if I feel that Josh’s feeling that I have “harshness”
are valid. Not the last factor, and I cannot
stress it hard enough, is that each single recording that Josh played was incredibly
harsh. It was not just “harsh” in a normal sense it was just a very much compressed,
much grained colorless. I did pointed to him that anything his played was very
much compromised from purely audio point of view. I did not care too much about
that music, so I did not feel that it make any difference if it was better or
worse recorded. It was funny but Josh did not seen disseminated a difference in
purely audio quality between CD/LP that I played to him and his recordings. The
demo disks uses are typically made with reasonable audio quality, his copy of
his demo disks was very bad, I do not know if it was the mechanism how he copied
it or whatever…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
