Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better?
Great article here from Dan Wright of ModWright:
NO! I stopped being neurotic about sound quality long ago!
I'd like to think I'm gradually getting there too. Of course some of the seismic events of the past few years might also have something to do with it. Perspective, whether you seek it or not, has a strange habit of imposing itself upon you as the years roll by. |
@mijostyn Thanks. Appreciated.
That’s about as concise as a version as the false-dilemma driving this thread can get. False dilemma: Either you love your system's sound (and are just agog, all the time, passive) or you are neurotic (frantic, chasing the dream). The third option is the happy tinkerer. The experimenter. That’s what makes this forum fun. Anyone who is just happy with the sound of their system should prove that by going off and listening rather than telling others they’re neurotic.

@hilde45 I like to tinker. That is why I ride Italian motorcycles and cars. |
Very clear thinking! Thanks... This false dilemna is related to another one... FALSE DILEMMA: Either you make of your gear brand name a fetich, claiming that it is your subjective TASTE, Or you claim that the measuring specs tell all there is to tell about your gear, and then the objective measuring process and tools are the fetich... the third option is acoustic/psycho-acoustic process where the SUBJECTIVE EARS and the OBJECTIVE MEASURES are CORRELATED continuously in acoustic experiments and tuning... It is the reason why i became an experimenter in acoustic... We listen to the system/ room relation not to the gear ALONE or DIRECTLY , and the acoustic measures are AT LEAST as important as the electrical one because in acoustic we LISTEN to assess and test what we just measure in the room ...
