what you think you hear is meaningless.
People have to get off this listening thing.
Just asking for a friend, but why, actually, do you listen to music at all if those quotes from your posts are serious?

Dogberry, The distortion caused by the Viv are is easily measured and if your system is really good and you know what you are listening to is quite audible. Most of my music listening is done in my shop in loud background fashion using mid Fi equipment I don't mind getting choked with dust. Yup, I like listening to the big system better but I am enjoying the music either way. I can't be in the listening position and make furnisher at the same time. It is also a very bad idea for an old person to get stuck in a seat. |
The dogamtic theorists are those who understand such geometry - such as you and @mijostyn - and then assume without listening what the net sonic affect will be of those arms that defy it. Don’t get me wrong - I’m all for pivoted arms with "proper" offset and I have no plans to change from my SME V anytime soon, if ever. But I’ve been around audio too long to dismiss a product based solely on paper specs. As for the Viv in particular, I have other issues with it, the greatest being its mount, not its underhung geometry. But I haven’t heard it so unlike some of the armchair theorists here, I can’t pass judgment on it. |
@dogberry +1 @cleeds +1 @mijostyn no buyer's remorse here. The above 2 contributors in their latest posts have hit the nail on the head. When you said the listening with your ears thing as picked up on by dogberry, I read it with incredulity. The only thing most fortunate people have to listen with is their ears, so I'll stick with that and just let the music play. |
