Music first or sound first?


I just thought it might be interesting to take a poll of those that put sound first and those that claim they put music first in listening to their rigs.

There is no “first”, or a “major - minor” binary choice. The music appreciation is a direct function of the necessary system IMO. 

sure ,..you  can technically listen to the best “ music” on a “system” composed of a POS build and worse POS+ audio, performance Airbuds from a crap smartphone. 

Rather, you can actually enjoy the music played on a high-end system 

TAKEAWAY

The two factors are irrevocably equally stapled together…full stop.

There is just something magical about a perfect sine wave…. was it 440 or x ?…

On a much more serious note for those coming down on the side of MUSIC, i am finding this book to be excellent:

This is What It Sounds Like by Susan Rogers and Oge Ogas

Treat yourself to the audio book and light up a different part of your brain…. 

Thanks to you i bought it and it seems very interesting read...

i recommend it too ...😊

 

Original book about what our choices in music revealed about us and what are the factors that attract us toward some music...It seems stimulating read but fun too ...

I am both equally. Being very honest here - I have found that as the music system gets better, I have started liking genres of music that was "meh" to me before. It may be the age - who knows. But I like the eargasms my system is able to provide. If I was all about sound, then I would have changed components frequently. I have been wanting to change my DAC for quite some time. But the music drives me so much that I stick with my components for a long long time and am never in a rush.
