@newbee ”sense of humour”
We English love a sense of ironic humour. Often more when it’s understated.
I have a question on the ironic side…..
If you paid upfront a 15% import tariff, will it be a more forward sound and 15% better?
I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.
Ever since I lately stopped obsessing over sound quality and started really listening to music I’m wondering why fidelity was so important to my appreciation. Not that I’m totally on the wagon. I still revel in hearing wonderful sound. It’s just not so all-important anymore. And, sometimes very poorly recorded recordings do turn me off.
It’s just freeing not being so obsessed.

I dont need to listen analytically now...( i needed it when i tuned my room ) I know what is the balance between all acoustics factors now... If i perceive an unbalanced factor i correct it ... ( not by a costly upgrade by the way ) I am an audiophile interested by acoustics concepts and experience... Since my system/room is minimally satisfying i listen music... ( my concept of minimal acoustic satisfaction threshold) If anything catch my attention as unbalanced i correct it... ( i recently bought filters and buffer for my linear power supply at very low cost because i wanted to decrease the noise floor level and increase the reserve power of my tube pre-amp equalizer Douk T8 pro ) I use equalization for my headphones and speakers... My room and my modified speakers and headphone being already optimized... Each day i enjoy music with no critical frustration ,,, If there is a problem, i correct it ...I dont need critical mode of attention... I need knowledge ... |
@slaw After a while it gets boring l agree about getting to the beetroot of the problem…. It can be like eating salad day in, day out. Not everyone likes lettucepray or coleslaw, but then again, some do. |
I like what I've presently play about with, the reproduction I coax out of it, the range of music and the 'other versions' of the arts of noise that please some but not all. I enjoy taking innocent speakers and rudely modifying them into a version that I can't afford to do so otherwise. How you feel about that, and how you might object....? My spouse sent me this: I'm a fan of 'creative re-use', But..... - Mine look better; currently rough at the edges, but I'll go up against these NOW. -I don't like the concept of 'diffracting' sound waves with cones and/or spheres. It's hard enough to deliver a coherent sound field with current tech as it exists to everyone's agreement. There's already enough bouncing off the floor, ceiling, and walls even with treatments. -SAF is Nil. She'll file, get everything, you end up with ear buds. -Mine are lighter. Even the larger ones. ...but I'm just odd and in the way.... ;) |
