Pat - wise words indeed. The problem I have with TAS is that the theory is OK but in practice I want to listen to music I like to listen to - I'm not interested in a solo trumpet at Carnegie Hall...
A lot of this music has been created/manipulated using various technologies to be "what it is". It doesn't have a reference to any real world touchpoint. So I want a system that makes Hotel California sound great in my room - I want to enjoy listening to it. For me, it doesn't have to sound "real" or "acurate" because I have no way of assessing "real" in that context - just "great". To me, "great" means exciting, emotional, pleasant, involving, foot-tapping, fun, sad, stirring - those kind of words. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30820 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
