Romy, I was reading one of your posts from 2009 that addressed the matter of perception, and as I listened to your most recent video last night I remembered Dr. Gizmo and his (often cartoonish) rants along similar lines. At some point, if we are going to have repeatable It, we have to have Sound that can deliver It for us. While Gizmo insisted on a fairly specific formula, I am pretty sure at this point that ones personal journey can lead to a personal solution, albeit it might not be a permanent solution. I say this because I have had several systems that provided "sufficient It" for many years at a time, ranging from Horns via PP, sealed boxes via PP and SS, FR via SET, to multi-driver stacks and piles driven by PP, SET, and SS again. All these systems sounded different, one from the others. It has never been the case for me that I was awash in It every time I played Music via any system I ever had, over an extended (indefinite) period of time. It has always been the case for me that I get more or less It from a given configuration on a session-to-session basis, and then I want to "hear things differently" at some point. It is interesting for me to think this process does not have to do with Sound, as I have always paid a good deal of attention to Sound as I have developed and shaped my systems. Certainly, in the end, I have "rated" my own systems on Musical "Satisfaction", which I put in quotes because what keeps my interest at any given point in time seems to vary, at least somewhat. Hard to imagine stopping on one "formula".
Best regards,Paul S
