@prof What Do you claim to be “Good sound “ And why should someone agree with you?
I make no claims that suggest anyone should agree with me. I’m a vocal proponent of learning to choose on your own to suit your tastes. Fortunately, I don’t make a living suggesting audio products to others. I simply express my opinions on a forum when inspired to do so. When it comes to audio, I aim only to please myself, and I’ve come to trust my ears to do that, because that’s been my method for deciphering sounds since birth. It’s an amazingly sensitive natural system that can pick up on nuances...much tougher for microphones, measuring devices, and machines to pick up on those subtle cues that separate a sax from a clarinet.
"Good sound" to me is what tricks my brain into giving me an aural experience that’s similar to attending a good live musical performance. There’s an emotional connection that inspires and captures my attention. It’s natural, organic, textured, full of nuance, motion and emotion.... unlike microphones, measuring devices, and machines.
Even though it’s a highly personal selection that truly should be done by each of us, there are probably several members here who I’d trust to pick a system for me if it was necessary. Amir, would not be among them, because I simply do not trust that he could choose a system that would be satisfactory to me. Specs alone aren’t going suffice for picking my gear.
