Post Subject: PERCEPTION IS REALITY!Posted by Manitou on: 11/12/2007
Hello Romy,
Thanks for your reply. I'm also of your age and I do agree that these other 'esoteric' subjects first rose up strongly when I was in my teens. However, since then I've realised those things have real value in terms of imagining, designing, testing, listening and ultimately judging the abilities of 'audio systems'.
I, like you have heard a lot of crap sound from a rainbow of equipment over the years. The people 'involved' in the selling of this inadequate equipment, seemed shamelessly unaware of their part in a spreading gulf between Perception being Reality, their trade being salesmanship, not sound transduction. I have been in the company of many so-called experts related to reproducing the audio arts and so-called enthusiasts, eventually wondering whether they liked music at all. Or understood it!
I strongly suspect that you are doing what you're doing for the 'right' reasons, I like your style and enthusiasm. I appreciated your section on the types of listening you do, especially the more trancendental/inspired "mode"(?).
Actually, I hope you read my whole message as I think it may answer some of your main questions?
I hope I make some sense, if not, I'll try to clarify what I mean...
All the best,
Christopher. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
