In the Thread: What is High-End Audio, not for beginners
Post Subject: 100% spot onPosted by N-set on: 11/19/2024
Spot on on the system surpassing the owner like children surpassing the parent. I did feel that several times, which is probably even documented here, and that was highly stimulative and even transformative. Too complex to understand at a given stage of the development. In my case this had two basic layers: the musical layer (basically discovering the music I wasn't familiar with) and the expressive/interpretative layer of known music. And some other, more spiritual layers.
Spot on the lack of regular, working paths of navigation and that the paths that seem to work somehow look like madness. One of the most memorable and touching sound I've heard was in a flat of an older, budget audio person. He had some old Dunlavy's in the middle of the room, absolutely budget if not trash rest of the system and some strange pieces of equipment, scattered around the room and walls, disconnected and with their top plates removed. He claimed he needed them to shape the sound properly. He also claimed on good days, he could hear if he moved his shoes in the corridor behind the wall. Whatever he claimed or did, the sound is still in my memory despite the years.
And I don't think Shannon theory will help. It a genius way to deal with a very simple if not vulgar things like bits of information, yes/no answers. I'm much more inclined towards Jung's analysis of alchemists and alchemy processes, I think it's a treasure box to understand certain things in audio.
