@mijostyn, if everything about music reproduction was technically measurable then
1. Almost all TTs should more or less similar
2. We would not need anything more than a Technics SL1200 for a near perfect music reproduction.
When we "audiophiles" say pace, it is not speed. A song measuring 183 secs will still end in 183 secs but we are talking about the way notes get formed and carry the flow. The agility of the notes, the leading edge sharpness, the body and decay, and the lead up into the next note, all forms the structure and flow of music. DD, BD & ID all have a certain characteristic way to joining the notes (due to the kind of distortion the drive brings to the platter). Whether technical measurements detects anomaly or not, our ears can very easily detect these differences.
