Some people (mostly young or energetic) love to drive 2-door sport cars. They want to feel the roads; they want to cut corners hard and neck snapping acceleration. They want to see every little thing that the roads have to offer. Normally, they like the excitement and pay great attention surround them. In audio world, this type of people /cables /speakers /gears is called Hi-fi audio. People in this group like to hear and indentify every single note of the music /instruments. Thus, the more detail of sound, the better. Silver conductors and American products such Krell, Ayre, Esoteric, Nordost, seem to fit well in this category.
On the other side of the table are folks that rather choose luxury family sedan like Lexus for an example. They want their ride as smooth as possible; relaxation and extreme comfort are their priority. They want to avoid feeling every pumps, every rocks on the roads. They want to get lost in the transition. In audio world, this type of people is called music listeners, and their systems mostly sound musical, warm, and romantic. People in this category seem to lay back and enjoy the music and let the music takes them where ever it wants them to be rather than going back and forth analyzing their cables, speakers, or gears. Copper conductors and European products fit best in this category such Arcam, Triangle, Burmester, ProAc, Spendor, KEF.
Now, heres a fun part that you guys have been contributing the most. IMO, not all things, especially in electronics, are definite but exceptions and possibilities. With today technology, there are some luxury cars that can out perform 2-door sport cars and can be fun just as much. There are some silver cables that sound more natural and less grainy than copper as well. Or American products, known as fast, accurate, and detail that could sound just as warm as the Europeans such Vandersteen or Cardas
and other way around.
If someone ask you hows your Corvettes ride? What theyd probably want to know is howd you compare your Corvette with (many) other cars that you owned or experienced? Because not everyone is projecting the same, so they are probably pin-pointing your perspective right now. Unless stated, they wouldnt want to hear from you if you just gained few pounds because you just had a BigMac meal which could hurt the Corvettes performance or degrease its gas mileage. Or should you wax the car to result less air drag or should you increase tires air pressure a few PSI, or should you drive your Corvette around only in cool weather cond for better performance
I know you guys know /understand a lot of technicality and me too but just give the man a simple answer. Now, if he had neck and back injuries and didnt ask but went out and bought a Ferrari, that wouldnt be our problem either, right? He should have asked.
Sorry my post may not related to any of yours mainly because I felt the heat right from the beginning and did not actually read any of them after that
except mine, of course. See? There goes an exception.
Have fun and enjoy listening guys. Its a great hobby.
