Re: Which is more important to you -- AUDIO TRUTH or MUSICALITY?

I go for musicality EVERY time, which is why I guess my other 'musician' friend can get along with me. I learned long ago never to get into the 'audiophile' discussions about gear when listening to music with anyone other than other audiophiles.

I can hold my own with 'gear pigs', the tech talk, the new gear on the block specs, the next 'new thing' tweak. But it doesn't mean a thing to someone who doesn't have (or care!) about the vocabulary, just the tunes!

Getting back to the subject- musicality OR audio truth- I found that the less I discussed 'flavour of the month' issues, I got more into the music- really IGNORED the gear and became indeed a case of 'sit down, shut up and just listen', as my good friend says.

At the risk of sounding mean, I don't give a crap about quality sometimes! If the tunes move me, reagardless of the specs, I'll take the tunes, be it on a Waveradio, or a full blown Krell system!

Remember, don't shoot the messenger!
