Romy,

I was picky about the word "generate", since it means that a playback creates
some sort of semantics. I would say that a "serious playback" may open new
possibilities for a listener to use a higher order semantics, but those
semantics are "generated" within us not by a playback. Also, I meant that it is
better to think about a higher order semantics even before we recognize that
the new possibilities are available.  For example, how people interpret the
meaning of "dynamics"? Probably most audiophiles understand the dynamics within
the context of their set-up capabilities or somewhere close to what available
on the market (quite natural isn't it?). Let's say a new born audiophile comes
for a first time to a local Hi-Fi shop. A dealer WILL DEFINE for him what is
the dynamics. Actually it even will not use the word 'dynamics' (it bears too
much obscure meanings) but will use some more primitive expressions like "bass"
and so on. However, if that listener have defined for himself what is the
"dynamics" before entering a Hi-Fi shop, then probably he will not accept the
semantics GENERATED by a modern hi-fi equipment and a dealer.


Also, what interests me is if it is possible to separate the semantics of a
playback equipment from semantics of the pure musical experience.  I mean, can
we appreciate-evaluate-experience a pure musical event without a context of
electronic equipment. I personally hope that it is possible not to be dependent
on that annoying electronics, but going back to the above primitive example
with the dynamics I experience that equipment abilities to express the dynamics
DO influence my sense of dynamics in a musical performance. With time I feel
less such kind of influences, but I'm afraid I'll not get rid of them
completely.

Max.
