What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?


Once in awhile, I hear the term 'this amp is more musical' for some amps. To describe sound, I know there is 'imaging' and 'sound stage'. What exactly is meant by 'more musical' when used to describe amp?

" I used acoustics concepts applied full time for more than one year ... Why? Because before i experimented my "taste" was completely uninformed and i did not know how to be satisfied by sound in my room with my system. "

 

""  i did not know how to be satisfied by sound in my room with my system. "

That explain almost everything about you as an audiophile .

 

One year ago your knowledge level on your " new toy " was very low and now you are satisfied: good.Now you are a " skilled " gentleman. Good, to each his own.

 

Same for me and as you I'm satisfied with the quality performance in my system.

I did not wanted to go further with you in this debate ...i even tried to create a better communication with a mid ground position between you and me in a post above ...

But i must reply to your sarcasm and twisted interpretation to suit your "taste" ...

But you seems to use a lot AD HOMINEM arguments or sarcasms ... I dont used these attacks ... I explained why i think that if taste play a role in audio it does not play the most important role which main role is training ourself in acoustics understanding not mere room acoustic among other things ...

But here you misread me for the sake of attacking my character or i perhaps lacked clarity ...😁

I never said that i was satisfied myself with a stop gap low cost system...

I said explicitly that BEFORE reading about acoustics and before to learn how to go with experiments in my room , BEFORE learning about vibrations and resonance controls and making my own experiments , and BEFORE learning a bit about noise floor level controls and EMI shielding , BEFORE all that i was ignorant and i did not know how to upgrade my system and how to be satisfied completely and not frustrated ...

I learned , i had read, i experimented ; now i am happy and i know why and how ...And it has nothing to do with taste ...

No, it's not sarcasm and was not my intention. Sorry you took that way.

 

To each his own is the same way to say things for you and me. There is no attack in anyway and tha's not my attitude.

Taste or not taste ( ? ) you as me are satisfied and at the end it's what almost all of us are looking for with the MUSIC home reproduction.

Thanks for your clarification ...

We can differ without negative feelings ..

My very best to you ...

No, it's not sarcasm and was not my intention. Sorry you took that way.

all those by live measurements that at the end those bullet proof measurements explanation could be useless for the listener.

🤣

Funny how we still have talk like this when the technology to show what the 'mysterious' aspect is that causes the 'magic' in our systems has been measurable since sometime in the 1980s.

Its like advocating for flat head engines as opposed to overhead cam...
