Jafant thanks...But I have a question, at which step of your audio history do you gain that " musicality" experience in your audio system and why? What are the factors that makes possible this "musicality" experience audiowisely speaking ?
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
I think that "musicality" is the most important factor and attribute in living audio experience... The experience of "musicality" i think, cannot be reduced to subjective factors only, nor objective one...It is more easy to describe what it is not, than to describe what it is, perhaps like the experience of God in theology...But for sure if you get it, it seems the most important resultant factor of your audio grid system,you feel it and like it the most...After 7 years i feel it more than ever...The urge to upgrade recess in the background because when you feel "musicality" already at a certain level, you dont believe that it is possible to push that level really higher at an affordable cost... "Musicality" for me, in my words, correlate with realistic musical timbre and voice, fluidity,no harshness at all, no fatigue, and last but not least, listening music and forgetting the sound...
This is my personal my experience, i am curious to read others about that,about their "way" and "means" to live that experience...Thanks to all...

When I first came to Audiogon I asked if there was a glossary of some sort with terms used to describe sound and music. I think it was member david_ten who provided this link. This is a very handy and very extensive resource: https://www.stereophile.com/content/sounds-audio-glossary-glossary |
Three points:  First: In the words of Jeff Foxworthy…”You know might have a musical system if….” This is where things get hung up…..so…  Second : What defines musicality…is a lot like defining great pizza or great wine…it is in the eye, mouth, ear of the beholder.  Third: And now a
possible real world definition….you turn on the music and you listen…and never
once did your brain try to cut in and tell you all of the things that might be
better…such as…”hmmm, I wonder if a Be tweeter would make that trumpet sound
better”. So, if you are able to just
listen and enjoy, then just maybe you have a musical system....and the rest of the descriptions and definitions don't matter. |
