"Analytical" is something I’ve been fighting ever since I got into this stupid hobby.
The arrival of "Digital" made things worse.
What is this term 'analytical' ?
I see this routinely in reviews & comments and so do you:
It’s too analytical. It’s so analytical that it’s not musical. Etc.
What does this mean? You can actually hear stuff? You picture math problems on a chalkboard? A shrink’s couch?
Isn’t the entire point of this hobby to hear music clearly? But apparently: not too clearly?
