General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I expect that is determined by

how much live acoustic music a person hears and how much they attempt to come as close as possible to that at home. Still, no cigars are handed out.

When I attend a symphonic concert I don't hear score "pages being turned" as some like to reference. Nor do I hear all the precise instrument placement others rave about. But then I prefer to sit more than 10 rows back to be enveloped by the whole orchestra as a cohesive sound. Others may prefer to sit directly up front (like Harry Pearson) where they experience a different soundstage.

Such individual preferences may be reflected in our choices for components. More than once I've auditioned components which seem to over-emphasize detail, but at the sacrifice of more believable tonality. I pass on those since I prefer the latter.
