In the Thread: Why I do not like the "high-end" audio-reviewers.
Post Subject: Some further explanations.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/28/2024
Oh, absolutely. This is the whole my infatuation with abhorrence of that first level of "Absolute Sound". Audio files listening Sonic definitions off musicalities, designers design Sonic properties of musicality and sales people sell it. It is in reality has absolutely nothing to do with listening experiences. When I am talking exclusivity I'm not talking that I taking specific sounds and begin to colorize them like a Christmas tree in order to make it subtractive. I am talking about musical resolution which actually very frequently back proportional to Sonic resolution. One of the greatest characteristics of first production ML2 that it's really psychologically filtered out sensational sounds and make a listener with adequate listening culture was able not to be distracted to irrelevant HFI crap. How it did it and why it is a completely separate subject.
Let me I give you a simple experiment that you can do yourself and do not necessarily subscribe obvious that I am spreading here. Take your DAC with digital volume control. Set some kind off listening level at your listening spot let's say at night a decibel. Listen whatever you feel is good. Then reduce volume at your digital volume control let's say to 10 decibel and add those 10 decibel at your amplifier. You will have ton of the Sonic oil changes is that you can identify at level of absolute sound. However, at third level you will observe is that your music become less engaging and you become more indifferent to this music. So, now put a tent that you develop listening techniques where you're acknowledgment of Sonic differences at first level is completely blind and you able to acknowledge musicality only at third level, not even at second level as it is irrelevant. So you can observe in this example that the efforts "efforts" of your playback made your perception of musicality significantly less important. Now is the question from me, if we acknowledge that efforts of the playback make a person less tuned, engaged, involved into a musical event then would it be appropriate to propose that the efforts of playback can elso to enrich list another musical engagement and involvement? Is that all that I am talking about. A listener as any normal human being is susceptible to propaganda. Playback system very much my business mechanism of propaganda which make person more likely to be engaged in anything starting from suspension of disbelief and ending this is the actual ethical message that musical piece care...
