Hifi V.s. The music makers

There is another group of "audiophiles" in this world . They are the musicians ,artists , sound engineers, producers , ect ... who do not spend a lifetime agonizing over which kinda of copper to use between amps and speakers .They are also looking for absolute "truth" to what they are hearing . no colorations. I ask why we are so determined to alter their work ?

Russ, this and that is true, but no great recording artist can make poor performance great while great musician can turn poor recording sound great.

I would also add, that it is hard to know what the Engineer, producer, artist, etc. was hearing because you weren't in the playback booth hearing the play back on the studio play back equipment. So, it will sound slightly different in your system. most likely, your equipment is much better than what was in the recording/play back booth. The mixing boards may have used ICs or solid state or tube (rare). The potentiometers may be really cheap, etc. You never really know what was used in the recording booth. So you really try to do the best you can to tailor your system to play back music in a manner which pleases you and do your best to try to reproduce the music in as realistic a manner as you can.

enjoy
