Hey Folks. Thought I'd catch us up a bit. This was my first attempt posting a topic, and missed a bit of clarity in the goal. Thanks to those sharing so far! Rephrased, "In improving the sound of your system, define the one thing stands out as the most vital to your progress?" Spearheaded by the thick little audio journals of the late 70's, Harry Pearson and J Gordon Holt gave voice to hi-fi. We've become quite skilled in the language of sound; in defining macros & micros, stage presentations in halls and the nuances of studio production..."inter-transient silence" is a fine example from above.
In "the chase," my personal niche is obtaining the gear best I can afford, then going to work improving upon it. Removing harmful resonances both of cabinetry and under the hood of all my gear has lifted the resolution to incredible heights over the years. The trick is, keeping all that imagery musical, and in place. Here, latest upgrades have been in the electrical realm, further refining my 10ga dedicated line with new outlet/cover and hard wired male plugs. So far, results are more than the leading edge transients, and/or decay, or "air around the instruments," more than "flow," "organic," "ease," "Sheffields" --Thelma Houston's, "I've Got the Music in Me," circa 1975 was my first, btw.-- It is, of course, the sum of all that...yet, timbre is what hits me first and strongest...my truth. Onward! Pin
