In Reply to: What are "audiophile components" of sound ? posted by Klaus on August 10, 2002 at 22:14:50:
...on a very successful troll.RE:>>>"when I concentrated on the audiophile components of the sound, it was obvious that the images were....."<<<
I don't read anything oblique or confusing in your supplied quote and really don't understand why the bulk of the responses so far have been so negative towards it. I haven't read the review nor do I have ready access to it for illumination and context so perhaps there is some additional background that I am missing or not privvy to?What I read is that the reviewer is merely attempting to describe the product by separating out the sonic qualities of presentation which have little or nothing to do with musical expression or content such as the visually oriented artifacts of stereophilia and dimensional/imaging qualities from those that are integral to music and performance. What's so controversial or confusing about that?
RE:>>>Are these components that can only be heard by certified Audiophiles ?<<<
I'd guess that most regular concert-goers of the non-audiophile persuasion would probably not be particularly aware of many of the artifacts that seem so dear to the "typical" audiophile so perhaps being "certified" is helpful.
Probably all the reaction that one might elicit is the "wow, it sounds like I'm there in the hall" or perhaps point and gesture with amazement to a void between the loudspeakers.
That would certainly be a nice compliment to receive but unfortunately says very little of how an audio system communicates what, why and how the performers and composer express and relate to the music and each other.Where the first oboe is seated or the size of the venue is rarely central to the essence of the message or the art.
