Having said that, I have an affinity for being in recording studios, so there isn’t a desire within me for my music to represent a live, staged affair which could block my listening enjoyment of most stuff I listen to. 🙂
Top two most important sound qualities
In case you didn't know, it's 2023 and this website still hasn't implemented a polling feature, so I can't define a selection of sound qualities to choose from and see results in a grouped, organized fashion. Boo hoo!
If you had to pick two of the typically referenced sound qualities that are most important to you to optimizing the enjoyment of your system, what are they? You know what I mean, right? Could be a certain frequency range and some particular quality that you for in it, or any quality that applies across all frequencies, etc.
(Note: "Sound qualities" mentioned here do not include anything that refers to physical attributes of your system or listening room, such as acoustical treatments, types of components, types of source material, physical tweaks, etc. It's only a reference to subjectively appreciated qualities.)

@vinocour 100% on your 3 part answer. Better than my comment which begins with rhythm as well. My wife will not watch opera except live performances (we have season tickets-she loves live opera) and certainly will not share my huge recorded collection (70,000-100,000 opera/classical vocal recordings). She has an affinity for 60-80s pop and rock in recorded form as after having attended 50+ concerts, she prefers a studio version absent distractions listening to her music. We share recorded classical instrumental music together. She’s not into jazz so much unless it’s live as well. |
