Is it too bright or is it high resolution?


It has been said in the forums that one mans bright sounding amp is another mans high resolution amp. Some amps and preamp combinations can deliver a high resolution presentation and to others this may be considered too bright sounding. Is there a fine line that can distinguish between the two? Personally I like very revealing & the fine details delivered but the wife says it sounds a tad bit too bright.

Yes.

The answer is in the ear of the beholder.
There is a very fine line between high definition and too bright.
You will know it when you cross it. You will find that your listening sessions growing shorter as listening fatigue begins to set in sooner and sooner.

While I do enjoy high definition, I do realize that one can go too far.
I have heard systems that have reached the point of sterile, amusical, and uninvolving.
