In Reply to: Yes, you are correct. The curse of listening to the sound... instead of the music. True, I have it again. posted by Smelly_Socks on September 30, 2016 at 11:43:47:
the music becomes front and center of listening and you kind of forget the fantastic SQ that it can achieve, you
can be marveled at times when focusing on THAT aspect of listening.
I pretty much take my system for granted most of the time; MUCH of the music sounds great.
Then sometimes I'll do the "critical" listening thing and realize just how damn good it sounds
in that context.
(And I'm using some pretty funky speaker cables right now; too embarrassed to even mention the brand)
I'd rather listen to a less than stellar recording of, say, Jitterbug Waltz, than JATP anyday.
We may be slaves of source dependance, but we don't have to be ridiculous about it.
