I've spent my life with music, and with all that time and experience, I've learned something -- the more one truly understands about the experience of music, the harder it is to explain with words. I will be the first to admit that my words here are clumsy, at best.
Still, I urge you and others to reread my post, and to think again about what I tried to say. Don't let your knee start jerking too easily in "audiophile defense mode".
I appreciate what the "audiophile community" has done for electronic music reproduction (not in every way, but in many ways, certainly) -- hence my coming here to learn about certain things I can use to enhance my own recorded music listening experience. At the very same time, I'm saddened by what I see so much of -- the intrusion of so-called "critical listening" where frankly, it only gets in the way of experiencing music more deeply. With my extensive experience in introducing music to people from around the world, over many years, I do feel confident in my opinions -- even if I have trouble expressing them clearly. For that failing, I sincerely apologize.
I don't have time to go on right now, and I can't promise to come back and "finish" (I may try, but I'm learning to be more careful with promises in this regard, as I do have other things to do).
Take it as you will, but I assure you, just because you either intentionally resist, or simply can't understand what I'm trying to get at (again, my fault as well) doesn't make it nonsense.
