What is Musicality?


Hello fellow music lovers,

I am upgrading my system like a lot of us who follow Audiogon. I read a lot about musicality on Audiogon as though the search for musicality can ultimately end by acquiring the perfect music system -- or the best system that one can afford. I really appreciate the sonic improvements that new components, cables, plugs and tweaks are bringing to my own system. But ultimately a lot of musicality comes from within and not from without. I probably appreciated my Rocket Radio and my first transistor radio in the 1950s as much I do my high-end system in 2010. Appreciating good music is not only a matter of how good your equipment is. It is a measure of how musical a person you are. Most people appreciate good music but some people are born more musical than others and appreciate singing in the shower as much as they do listening to a high-end system or playing a musical instrument or attending a concert. Music begins in the soul. It is not only a function of how good a system you have.

People - Quit trying to bastardize this musical term. Think up a new term to describe the sound comig out of your prized system... how about ELECTROCALITY? or VALVESSENCE? Here's one... AMPLIFACCIFITY.

Rawinsonde,
Musicality has different meanings in different contexts. It may have one meaning for a musician and a different meaning for an audiophile. One meaning does not exclude the other. The music world is big enough to handle both. Being musical applies very well to components and audio systems.
When you listen to Music..!!..you start listening yourself and when you start smiling hère you start talking to yourself like à dream Côme trough because you CAN imagine à musicien playing in front of you with his instrument and you CAN say you are listening musicalité and not à SYSTEM of hifi
