RE: "Gordon Holt did not believe in musicality"

If he had known about my definition of musicality, I'm pretty sure that he would have believed in it. You are the one with the mental block, as far as I can tell.

Holt believed in the "subjective evaluation" of audio gear, did he not? And, when I use the word "musical" that is exactly the type of thing that I'm referring to (I keep on explaining this, but you don't seem to hear). The *reason why* Holt believed in the "subjectively evaluation" of audio sound is because he knew that it was the only way to make sure that audio sounded like... (drum roll please!) "MUSIC".

"Music".., "Musical".., "Musicality"... "Musical Accuracy"... "Musical Fidelity", etc... Get it?

Maybe I'm unaware of what the word "musicality" was supposed to mean back when Holt was alive but I really don't care about that, partly because I have the feeling that it always was a fairly vague term. So now, this (the above) is what the word "musicality" means to ME. I am trying to make the term seem like less of a vague thing, the only requirement being that you read and try to understand what I'm saying.
