I’m confused. Please explain.
Hello everyone. There are quite a lot of posts of people wanting their system to sound like real instruments like you would hear at the symphony. I don’t see the importance of it. I’ve been to the symphony one time recently and it was nice but until then I’ve basically only listened to music made in a studio, amplified and then mixed. I have been to concerts but even that music was at least amplified.
Surely you listen to more than just classical music. Are you saying studio music can somehow be made to sound like symphony instruments? I want my music to sound like it did when it was recorded if possible. I enjoy many genres of music so I don’t see why I would desire it to sound like I’m at the symphony. I consider my system neutral so it is true to the recording. Thank you for your thoughts.
Regards
Ron
Don’t think knowing my equip will help you any. in general high end equipment tends to maintain consistent output across the entire frequency range as the volume goes up and It get tough (expensive) to do below 60hz bass if you want to play at concert decibels. mid-fi gear will get much louder as mid-fi gear will roll off the low end as you turn up the volume. |
@sudnh I assumed with your many years of experience and knowledge you would have high end equipment and was curious what it was. With the exception of my streamer and lps being considered entry level ( I feel it performs excellent) I consider my Boulder , Rockport and Nordost gear high end. Add a custom built dedicated room and I really couldn’t ask for more. |
@thecarpathian mmm no, I don't want punk rock to sound like there is a power outage ;-))) |
Everyone wants their system to sound the same way they heard the music when it affected them the most. They may claim some sort of 'natural' but really, it is just an excuse. What we all want is emotion. The sound of that perfect evening. The sound of Zep at a concert when we were 16. Something like that.
