AHendler,Have focused daily and almost exclusively for one thousand days on successfully reaching the sound of live music. What do I mean by the latter? It is the sound of the recording that remains after all the distortion and corruption, recognizable to the brain and ear, have been eliminated. Listening becomes a completely stress-free experience and there is literally no limit to the hours of music that can pour through the ears and brain. Typically I listen for 10 hours daily.
From zero-noon the volume nob requires turning to less than a 12.30pm-1pm setting, the bass is deep/ solid without a sub-woofer and the treble/ mid-range notes stand forward and separate dynamically and engagingly out of silent darkness across a wide sound-stage. Close the eyes and it sounds exactly like a live performance, not just to me but to other audiophiles.
Compared to most members, my system is simple, inexpensive and relatively unimpressive on paper. And I write because the 2k+ hours of testing with the recent successful conclusion convinces me that Tre' is, in fact, correct. Those who tune indulge a preference or compensate for previous equipment choices but the accessed underlying recording is the accessed underlying recording that itself never changes. The degree to which a user may successfully access that recording without distortion and/ or corruption in reproduction will hopefully, of course, improve over time.
The secret to reaching 'live music' is a relentless focus on the 'EMI ICEBERG' whose thick distortion curtains hide below much conscious awareness. De-magnetized brass for ferrous screws in speakers , plastic substitutes for all brass and stainless steel screws in amplifiers and components except DVD/TV are requirements. Component vibration, shared component corruption/ ground, etc.etc. always get the attention so they are not hiding live music from audiophiles like EMI. Hopefully this renewed emphasis will benefit someone's ears and brain somewhere...

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).
No further follow-ups will be considered.
Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
