In Reply to: RE: What's easier to achieve in YOUR system... posted by wangmr on January 09, 2015 at 04:16:57
Gee, that IS a tough one to answer directly, as everyone has an opinion and a preference...
Having said that (admitting my own biases?), my system disappears when playing live (well recorded) material- that is, the speakers cease to be the where the points of sound are generated from, and I am left with a convincing, 3D image that extends around, over, behind and ahead of me.
Is it RIGHT though? Who knows? I've never been to the hall in Chicago where Reiner and the CSO recorded. I haven't hung out in the studios where Kraftwerk and Radiohead created their art (or for that matter, argued with the members of Steely Dan about what mike to use on the drums or how to play that bass part with the right groove).
What I can say with assuredness is that every time I sit down to listen to music (record, DVD-A, FM, most CDs), with the lights off, the system ceases to exist in the confines of the living room. IS my system that good, or is it my brain, as simple a music lover that is, fooled into an alternate musical universe?
Tell me what YOU think about your own experiences in listening...
Cheers,

That was a great hall when the reiner recordings were made only later to be ruined when remodeled. It has been remodeled several times but though the sound has improved it never returned to its original glory. I attended Cso recordings for 35 years, from reiner to Bareboim

okay, others have given their impressions - what are yours?

answered above, but that's not important; that's not the issue.
your issue appears to be a prejudice of this board: an original poster (?) has to answer the question that is posted.
just plain wrong, on many levels. see if you can see the reasons...
roger wang
No prejudice, and no one has to answer the question he/she posted.
You said, "I'll give my impressions after reading the others [n.t.a]"
When I posted my question ("okay, others have given their impressions - what are yours?"), quite a few others had posted their impressions, but you had not yet.
So I asked.
rlindsa
and i answered.
you haven't gotten the point yet.
(in my answer, i additionally said an answer is not mine to give, but since two posters asked - you and another - i gave my unanswering answer).
the prejudice of the Audio Asylum is an asker ('poster' of a thread) has to and is supposed to and is looked down upon for not answering the question posed. seems pretty half-ass and back-asswards: why post a topic you see to having an answer to?
i don't mean to single out A.A. here as other audiophiles on other sites might play this Reversal Game (my wording) too.

Roger,I asked my question AFTER you had volunteered to give your impressions (after seeing others') and BEFORE you had replied to another poster's post. When I asked my question, how was I to know that you would reply later?
I agree that it wouldn't make sense to ask a question you already know the answer to - if it has a specific answer. But you asked for people's experience in THEIR OWN systems. Why is it so unreasonable to ask you back what your experience in YOUR system has been?
I'm really not sure what you are getting testy about.
