In the Thread: What is it all about? Destination vs ceremony.
Post Subject: Ceremony....Posted by Newtohorn on: 8/19/2019
definitely a ceremony to me... In my opinion, "practicing" high-end is an ongoing journey to achieve better sound. Better sound is very subjective and up to a point it is lateral - we look for different sound as opposed to better sound as no choice is 100% better than another. It is like we listen to the same musical piece, played by the same musician, and wanting a different feeling/interpretation. Playing the same recording of Kogan playing the same violin concerto, but wanting a different result/feeling - more ambient here and there (details?), more note accentuation here and there (frequency bump?), more overtones (2nd/3rd tube harmonics?). This is all hence a ceremony, a practice to achieve something which is a running target and in a way, never really existed in the first place. Up to a point, there is no better sound, just different sound.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
