What's missing with many digital systems is musicality. Often digital systems provide great musical artifacts, but lose the emotion of "real music." Tone, timbre, texture, color, fullness and weight and harmonic rightness is lacking in many mega-buck systems. I'm a musician, so is my Wife, Mom, Dad, and a number of Uncles. I like to joke: you are at a live performance, one member of the audience comments, "wow, Rob's guitar seems to lack resolution tonight and is he sounding transparent to you, Millie?" Millie replies, "not to me, Russ, plus they're not imaging well and I notice that drummer dropped a stick and it was not audible." Russ responds, "yeah, soundstage lacks depth as well; at least the tone is right..." Best, Rob
Why does a Sony PlayStation sound good to me?
Okay I bought a couple of the Sony play stations with the rca audio outputs and hooked one up.First impression was not very good. Not detailed like my other CD players but left it on for a couple of days and am really enjoying the sound. It does sound more like an lp to me. I know the highs and lows are rolled off some and the build quality is poor but I like the sound. I now want a better quality more reliable CD player that sounds more like this. Especially for my CDs that are not recorded or transferred to digital as well. I'm happy to use this as an additional CD player but was thinking maybe Rega has a sound similar from some of the threads I have read. Sometimes I think welcome the soul of the music with too much precise details. Any suggestions on a different CD player?
