always in search of our favorite illusion of sonic reality...

Not sure what to make of this statement.....

A stereo system can in no way reproduce the sound of a live event. Not in any stretch of any imagination. If this is what you mean then I am in agreement with the illusion of sonic reality.

"favorite illusion" is an apt term for those that buy a system that sounds good to their ears without regard to how the actual live perfomance sounds. I would say 95% of audio buyers fall into this camp. Maybe even more.

I applaud O'Malley because he is working hard to optimize his system to achieve the highest possible fidelity. This is an enjoyable pursuit for many of us on the Asylum. Even when we get really close to perfection I find many of us decide to make changes just for the anticipation that even better sound is available with a new product or service.

O'Malley is not a sorcerer by any stretch of the imagination.

However he does have voodoo dolls and occasionally he sticks pins deep into my back side....just kidding. OUCH.... O Malley that's just not fair.....OUCH.
