Pleasurably better, not measurably better
I have created a new phrase: pleasurably better.
I am giving it to the world. Too many technophiles are concerned with measurably better, but rarely talk about what sounds better. What gives us more pleasure. The two may lie at opposite ends of the spectrum.
I use and respect measurements all the time, but I will never let any one of them dictate to me what I actually like listening to.
talking about “measurements” without specifying details is pointless. one measurement to shed a light on how good system is integrated would be measuring sound distortions, phase and FR in actual room, at listener point. you will be surprised with discovery of how many things inside your home are resonating, reflecting, and impact SQ on mega scale! |
@westcoastaudiophile Absolutely, even with my custom listening room, there's the couch/seating, the equipment racks and equipment, speakers themselves and CDs in a corner. (If someone is curious concerning my custom room, check out my profile equipment information). |
Yeah… @curtdr But the sound of whatever is playing should be the same.
@fleschler the photo is only a bit of a peek in from a window or doorway. |
@holmz but if one is listening to music, ears are NEVER removed from the equation. Hence the real real-world artificiality is when one depends solely on laboratory measurements that have cut the ears off. |
@holmz The list provides the room info. There's really nothing to see but the cherry plywood walls and surface treatment (can't see the HFTs). I'll try to find the Acoustic Fields video and post my room as finished. |
