Why isn’t more detail always better?


Is more detail always better if not unnaturally bright or fatiguing?

@waytoomuchstuff ...as one who accompanied spouse to her 50th HS reunion over Halloween wknd.....both agreed an excuse to visit NYC over the following wk.

DJ lame....crowd overdressed....if not in the company of one of her 2 friends then & now, unrecognized....self a stranger on a stranger chunk of the planet....

...and hadn't even been to Manhattan yet....*LOL*

Missed return from Newark by minutes.... "WTF is plan B.S?!"

Renter (NEW! 300 on a Nissan sedan for 40$/d, no limit mi.....)

Watch this, commuters....700 mi. in 11ish hrs., 80~85 as poss. on Interstates.

Spouse has learned how to 'push it' from yours unruly....❤....;)   )

End of day, worth it to escape the flood routines, thanx Helene...

@mapman , GF, zed argument from your DIY Walsh adherent here...👍😉

Re-arranging here into a 'proper' Walsh surround w/sub to prove to spouse that a pair of Maggies will suck.  Even if I tag the ESS amts' along to tag along...which require nil space....

Have 4, can astound soon; surround amt's of the same caricature's....just like IRL....*wooosh *L*

@dishman442  Yeah, it's only when the raw meat gets tossed in that things get 'complicated'... ;)

+10, Yes, only gets more involved when we bring our stuff home that the formulas get involved, drastically by the space we try to make it 'happen' within.

DSP can improve, but likely never cure the 'random locale' we attempt to live and live with re audio endeavors...

SAV can be a sofa too high to surmount....unless you are or have the wallet to become a monk..... ;)

@noromance ...*?*

My UniversedXlator came back with "Duh?: Yammy=Yamaha, NS10=GP RR bike:?"...per the onboard wetware....

Rev&Repost? Pwease.... ;)

Good thought that detail is not only in the treble. Although that is where we think of it. But it is also in the midrange and bass. One of the biggest revelations to me was when changing to tubed amps the nuance of bass that I had never heard before..of course as well as in the midrange as a result of it being fully represented, 

Detail is at all frequencies. Dynamic range facilitates detail.

Most music occurs in the midrange including voice so detail there probably adds the most.

Interesting to consider most any decent speaker can cover midrange. Yet the results can vary so widely! How can one account for that? Detail including transients, frequency response, very low noise, dynamic range…… that’s it for me. Take out the detail and not much left. Isn’t 4K video resolution always better and always preferred? Just do it well! Who still wants a tv limited by technology from 20 or more years ago? Not me. Audio follows a similar pattern. Advancement in technology and applying it well is the key.
