There's something that often seems to get lost in these discussions of "perfect" audio reproduction - namely what exactly is meant by that in the first place. If the musicians came into your listening room and performed, what you would hear would not be the same as what the sound engineer in the studio heard when he made the recording - because your room has different acoustic characteristics. This is not at all a small effect - think of how an orchestra sounds in a concert hall, or in a church, or in the open air - they're completely different.
So "perfect" might mean what the musicians would have sounded like had they played in your living room, or it might mean what the engineer heard, or it might mean something else entirely... and when you add to this the fact that moving around the room has a dramatic effect on what you hear - you may go from a node to a maximum of some acoustic mode moving a foot or so - it becomes really impossible to define. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
