Interning that the strings and are the primary beneficiaries of the “Injection channel” effect. It would be hard to explain to people who never were not in my room what the effect is but I would try. (Yoshi you have to visit me again and what I tried to prove you with Janos Starker I can do again with Macondo)

OK, readers let tell stories. Pretend you used a well performing playback, loaded the JBL/Large-Altec MF drivers. Everything is great but you feel that when strings go soft and when the recording is too up closed then stings are loosing transients and bow sonically almost slip across the strings without creation of those zillion bubble within sound. Yes, with audacious play and a bold instrument recorded up-close (Anne Sophie Mutter’s for instance) a JBLed/Alteced playback could crate some kind of imitation of the “string” but as soon a volume goes down, or some ambiance in the recording delude the “strings immediacy” then it requires a lot of imagination to feel that what is being played have any remote reflection of stings Sound.

Well, you are suffering for a while, unloading the anode of your SETs and bitching that you lost harmonics when you did it and then, reading my site you decided to invest a little in my audio blabbering – you buy the Vitavox S2 driver instead of JBL/Altec or …. instead of anything else compression… Now you are in a totally different ball game as the properly used S2 has that “edge” that you so need but at the same time while doing the “edge” the driver has a perfect harmonic integrity and hold the “tone”. However, since you are an audio psycho and you need constantly increase the dose of audio heroine you soon begin to ask yourself: how can I get even more that nerves scratching “edge”.  You want more “sonic ecstasy” but you are not wiling to sacrifice anything among you already got. You want to take the “edge” even further but you do not what any sharpness or roughness.  You want “it” to be very smooth, very airy but at the same time you what under the hood of that airiness beating a hart of “airy anxiety”. You want “space” itself to be an expressive tool and you want not just recognize violas as something “between second violin and cello section” but rather you want to do what you do at concert - to LOOK at a given player and while you do it to be able in your listening concentration to feel sound of the given player within of the entire section. You learn from the 78s. You listen the 78s and learning in how it should be. (I do not know how you but I might listen THIS SOUND (and THAT play!!!!) from 78s for a whole day in a loop … Courtesy to Andy Rose)

So, you would like to push slightly more, why not? It has nothing to do with music; it is pure audio, the “abstract audio” as I like to call it…

So, how can we get more of THAT “edge”? How can we get the “edge” without loosing “tone” and with breaking connectivness between to notes and converting Sound into a stream of the isolated Booleans? Sure the better drivers would be the answer. Please name them to me, I always am looking…

Well, here is where the injection channel might be as answer. You have a playback that care the basics of the presentation - tone, dynamics, articulation, phonetics and lexicon of musicality and then have a little poison brash with witch you retouch Sound in a way your musical and audio intelligence suggests you to. You do not EQ sound or misbalance it in anyway you juts strategically inject purely ACOUSTICALLY toxic and venomous touch from your Injection Channel into a proper sound of your listening room. I like this direction and so far I am encouraged with the result. Do not take me wrong: it is not problem-free and it requires demonstrating to yourself some taste and some self-discipline – well perhaps it is true with any drug, not only with Sound….

However, I can testify that a general experience with my Injection Channel - properly arranged, correctly dialed-in and with correctly chose type (crucially important) of venom, is more interesting then without Injection Channel. Isn’t it what the advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techniques should be all about?
