Does it have to sound good for you to like it?
I listen mainly to classical music. The SQ of classical recordings is all over the place, not nearly as consistent other types of music. Recording large orchestras is a complicated and difficult endeavor. Smaller ensembles are easier to record. So, if you listen to a great performance of an orchestral (or any) recording but have trouble with the sound will you avoid listening to it?
“On this forum, the OP has asked what is essentially the same question many times over the years; in a variety of different ways and approached from different angles.” The relevance of this post is borne out by the number of members (including yourself) who have responded. I think It is an important issue for many and worthy of repeating in different ways. |
@rvpiano , I haven’t suggested otherwise. I’m sure it will be brought up again. As I also said, I hope you can find some resolution. Cheers. |
@mikhailark I assume this is the YouTube video you’re referring to since it seems to be the only one out there. You gotta be kidding me! If this is his home stereo it’s pretty clear he’s no audiophile and would explain why he doesn’t seem to even understand audiophiles or what drives them. Both his system/room/setup and just the way he speaks about audio equipment is pure audio engineer/musician with nary a hint of audiophile in there. But, with this perspective I can certainly better understand why he’d make such an inane statement about audiophiles. |
