How does sound influence your appreciation?
Since I’ve gotten my system to a very good place, I find myself liking the performance of almost everything I hear. Now in classical music, there are sometimes dozens of performances of the same piece, each performance having its own unique take. I now seem to like every interpretation I hear regardless of differences, due to the great sound. I’m losing my discernment because the sound is so much a part of the equation. This is more true of orchestral music than other types
How about you?
Good point @slaw. While much of my record library is made up of music I like irrespective of the playback medium, I have grown to accommodate other music ordinarily outside my existing purview now that everything sounds fine on my systems. |
By "sound" are you talking about the sound of the stereo itself rather than the sound of the music? It has been said that one mark of a great system is how much different each song sounds from another. Your Tritons use polypropylene midrange drive units. Maybe there are a few exceptions like Skanning doped poly cones (which I have not herd to confirm), but "poly eats detail". I prefer paper and phase plug for midrange unit (Sam Tellig called it a woofer dick) is best IMHO. Metal can also be good. But there are terrible cone break up problems like ringing that have to be designed out. |
