In Reply to: SOUNDSTAGE DEPTH. Is it IRRELEVANT to music enjoyment? posted by jusbe on April 15, 2000 at 06:13:14:
Timbre gets subdivided and can be further subdivided as all these can be:
Overtones, cohesiveness, body, texture, consistency in volume, consistency in frequency. This is what counts most to me.Dynamics:
PRAT, dynamic range (PRAT is a list of things, obviously)Soundstaging:
Directional cues - dimensionality (w x h x d), focus, stability, correctness of image sizing and proportionality, geometric distortions (i.e. square is more trapezoidal than it should be). Not so important as the top two but it adds the finishing touches for a realistic portrayal if done well.
This is just a short compressed list. What makes something more involving or realistic or call it accuracy will vary greatly from person to person. There's more than one way to skin this cat.
