"Some thoughts about the sonic experience within a hotel room at a show. Each luxurious room offers a variety of components where each one has their own impact on sound and and then enter all the people coming into the room, mostly older gents whose hearing isn’t as good as it used to be, and who are not familiar with these components. how is one to discern the qualities of any of the components on display???
Is it the speakers, is it the amplifier, is it the $40,000 cables, is it the power conditioner, is it the pretty line stage pre-amplifier, is it the glorified Computer masquerading as a server, is it the streamer, turntable, and of course we have the dac. Who is most responsible for all the lovely noise? Probably mostly the speakers and the amplifier. And let’s of course not forget the quality of the recorded music which really can impact the sound."
Blathering - the action of talking long-windedly without making very much sense.
