SOUND

I can’t listen to opera MUSIC, not my taste.

But go to the opera with high quality SOUND, yes.

I can say the same thing for about every genre of music that’s not my taste, a LIVE performance with high quality sound? Check, count me in.

The next best thing is a concert blue ray in my 9.3.8 immersive audio setup. Music that is "meh" can sound great with a concert blueray.

When it comes to hirez,redbook, lowrez if it is a genre I don’t care for low fidelity makes it unlistenable, period.

kota 1 have a point here....

Sound immersiveness and clarity can help someone to  go beyond his limited tastes and habits...

Myself because everything sound clear and immersive in my audio system , i live each evening in ectasy...

i would even like to upgrade but it seems preposterous and impossible...

I am afraid to do so because of the staggering costlier price at stake... Save the Choueri BACCH filters one day...Because with this filters dac i know for sure that it will not be marginal but deep upgrade...

When the sound is so good anybody can begin to appreciate the richness of world music not only jazz or classical...

my favorites albums are not in a style or in a genre... they are the musicians and composers i called geniuses..

 

By the way kota1 , i would be curious of your sonic impressions and musical impressions about 2 operas:

among my favorite ,

Kurt Weil Die Dreigroschenoper with Lotte Lenya because the soundfield is top...And it is the best interpretation ever of this masterpiece which contain the soul of an era ...

And Philip Glass Akhnaten for the same reason and it contain the soul of ancient Egypt... It is a masterpiece...
