In Reply to: I've been casually reading it for 10 years........... posted by J-PMatt@Comcast.Net on January 23, 2007 at 12:20:29:
From what I remember, the basic definition hasn't changed (well maybe since Harley's at the helm and Harry's been marginalized), but what has changed is what aspects of the absolute have been approached. Tonality? we might be there. Dynamics? Few systems can truly deliver ppp to fff without compression, so maybe this week they focus on that. Soundstage? 30 years ago, when TAS started, this was rarely spoken of. Now proper speaker design and placement are relatively common.Harry has admitted that the goal may be unattainable in situ, but he does acknowledge that advances have been made towards the absolute.
The reference is just a goal. Something to strive towards. It was his way to define his frustration with Holt's early approach (which in reality wasn't that different), just as Holt's frustration lead him away from High Fidelity's viewpoint. It's a testament to Harry's vision and to the ideal itself that people are still discussing it.
