In the Thread: The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); Finally!
Post Subject: The Recording Part of a RecordingPosted by Paul S on: 8/16/2023
Something worth thinking about as one chases an “ultimate
sound system” is that “accurate” playback will likely reveal sounds of the
recording process along with the musical performance. And The Loudspeakers are
certainly “guilty” of this. From knobs being twiddled, to reverb, mixes, and
artifacts from previous iterations, the playback through The Loudspeakers will
be a close repetition of the signals they are fed, for better or for worse.
Speaking for myself, I would rather do without the sounds of the engineering.
However, these sounds have so far been a consequence of insisting on “faithful
reproduction” of recordings that has otherwise paid off in terms of Music
appreciation. I am certainly open to getting the upside I get via The
Loudspeakers without the baggage, if anyone wants to share how that’s done. But
to date I have not heard “the good without the bad”, as it were, on this score,
although some recordings are better than others, for sure, in any number of
ways. As I have noted, The Loudspeakers
do not emphasize non-musical or a-musical parts of recordings. In fact, they
seem to do a pretty good job of “sorting out” and “setting aside” parts other
than Music. So far, this has been better
than worse, and I continue to work to take advantage and make the most of good
engineering and poor engineering.
