Some tables have soul and some not

Frogman, Learsfool, now I remember that classical music you are referring to; it "boogied"

and it had a whole lot of"soooule".

Learsfool, when you add classic and soul you get "James Brown". Tell me what classical music "boogies".

No one defines "Orpheus10", except "Orpheus10".

Now, back to the subject. TT's and cartridges are "voiced" for different genre's of music, but perhaps only the most astute audiophiles are aware of this; which makes the fact why you are so "unaware" that much more apparent.

The Sota is for classical music, and classical music has no "soul".

I don't like classical music, but when I heard it on a Sota Cosmo, it changed my opinion. TT's and cartridges are voiced for different genre's of music.

Onhwy61, I've been into jazz for most of my life. Music I like consists of from 3 to 6 instruments, while classical music consists of many instruments. On less than "audiophile" equipment, all of those instruments are mashed in together and it sounds like noise to me; but played on equipment where I can hear the different instruments, it can be beautiful.

I stand corrected; Beethoven got soul, and Beethoven definitely "boogies".

Every segment of society has it's own unique dictionary. You will not find the word "soul" in an electronics dictionary; but you would find it in a "stereo" dictionary, or a jazz and blues encyclopedia.

While I am not an expert in classical music "jargon", I have never heard that word used in reference to classical music.

Since the subject here is "music", as opposed to "metaphysics", I do believe someone's trolly has jumped the track.

In "audiophilic" terminology the word "soul" is synonymous with life. I suppose in that context, it could be used in some instances in regard to classical music; however, it is also commonly used in regard to a "genre" of music. In the context in which the word is used in regard to the TT, I would translate that to "does it generate life to the music?"

Dear Nandric, I'm still pondering your post, I'll get back to you in about a year on that; in the meantime "stay cool".

Rok2id, what did you say to make Audiofiel shut down that thread on protocol. I tried to start a similar thread but they didn't accept it.

I wanted to make another post, why did they stop new posts.
