I did not accuse neither you in this nor your comments in
this bias. However, a large amount of money spent is very frequently serves as obstacle
in a development of audio thinking and in advancement of audio practice by the OWNERS
of the expensive systems. I see it very frequently in brand-inherited groupies generally
and in Goto users in particularly. It is a very frequently that a person buy some
kind of expensive element, let say Kharma speakers for $200K, then the person by
the virtue of investment into the expensive model has a presumption that by the
utilization of his expensive loudspeaker he has some kind of assurance of “better
sound. In realty there is nothing further from truth and I hope you know that “great
sound” did not come from great components but from great efforts.

detail, impressive when low end is asked for and so enjoyable, well... that's
something to me.
Sure I understand your criticisms, Roman... yet, while listening, everything
technical is not considered, at least when pleasure and pros surpass cons -
like when you're in the pleasant company of a lady you simply don't think about
her kidney or lung functions or when driving a fine motorbike you simply don't
think about the metal its clutch is made-of or viscosity of motor-oil... |

Stefano, it is not a secret that we share different things
with the world, you at your blog and me at mine. Your blog is a dairy about
your exposure to different things and you do not look into the inner working neither
of the things you observed nor into the insights of your own perception. This
is perfectly legitimate area of interest and I have no problems with it, neither
have I criticized you for doing it. However, my own site reflect the interests
that I have and my interest have to do to a great degree with audio specifics, decisions
sensibility, design reasoning, development methodologies, observing and analyzing
playbacks expressive methods, recognizing playback construction patterns, identifying
the correlation between playback expressivism and listening perception. It is not that I am impermeable
for “music and pleasure” but the pleasures is not what I chose to share at my site,
the dedicated to “advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techniques”. I
spent quite a number of years of very hard thinking and hard practicing some
aspect of audio and I very much appreciate to see how my practical accomplishments
and my understanding audio methods stand up against the audio practice by others
audio practitioners. It is not a competition like many morons see it but rather
a correlation and collaboration. Unfortunately many audio people do not know
how to do it… What I think you are
missing in your example with the pleasant company of a lady is that you afraid
that I care about “her kidney or lung functions”. In reality I care to learn
what make me enthusiastic about her and if I enjoy her company so much then it might
be a reason in her, in me or in a world that made her presence so enjoyable. I
do not think that it is in any way or form degrade the quality of my feeling about
the lady. Instead is helps me to avoid a company of the ladies with whom I
would not have that warm and fuzzy feeling…
