What exactly is textural density??

I’m sorry, I am new to the high end audio world. I read this sentence and could not understand any of it. Can you help?

This enhanced textural density seemed good because when I’ve experienced it before, it indicated that the transducer was tracking the signal like a race car with fresh, sticky tires.

Listen to a cello or a bowed bass live. THAT is  textural density.

 BDP24 is correct. Textural density, when it comes to music really has to do with the individual instruments. It is that ultimate realism that we are all after ... or should be after with our audio systems. If your system is resolute enough, you can hear it in vocal cords, bowed strings, struck vibraphones ... and even notes as they are being bent by an expert harmonica player. You know it when you hear it.

What? No mention of Bing Crosby's tonal density? He has it in spades. :-)
