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.

soix & gregkohanmim that's about  the funniest posts I have read yet on Audiogon, hilarious. What is even more compelling is that there seems to be some glimmer of truth to it.
Every human ear is different. No two are alike. The brain receives impulses from tiny hairs growing in a snail inside your head. The size, shape and length of hairs are different in every ear.  It really is amazing just how much we can agree. Traditionally men loose their hearing from working in loud environments, shooting guns, and playing in rock bands. If you've done none of those things, then your hearing can be every bit as good as a woman of your age, unless she has been doing those things. 

'Bright', HO, seems to go 'mano e mano' with resolution.  Speed in response of the given radiator is another factor....

Just another 'balancing act' with everything involved.  One item in a given system could effect the overall performance....or what I gather from the various topics pursued in the forums here @  AG.....
Ah, male hearing.  I will never forget the Twilight Zone episode in which a babbling wife never stopped talking.  Her long suffering husband just suffered in silence (he dared not interrupt).  Then, one day, while in the car, he rubbed his right ear, and discovered that tugging on his ear lobe shut off the hearing in that ear (the wife was seated to his right) until he tugged it a second time.  The episode ended with the two of them cruising down the road, the wife rambling on about who-knows-what, and, having tugged his right ear lobe, a smiling, oblivious husband.  I'd like to see someone try to air something like that these days!  
PHD - Ha ha - 

Seriously, if I could accomplish that AND switch her to tubes so she also sounds warm, laid back and non-fatiguing?

In a heartbeat!

HAGWE!
