Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: remember

in stereo reproduction the most important differentiating "component" is YOU. You are responsible for imagining the stunning reproduction of a recorded event that is created from two somewhat correlated voltaged signals that were created (most likely) from events that occured at different moments in time by the recording engineer or producer.

Some people (like me) are easy sells - my brain is wired to easily imagine a performance from somewhat mediocre equipment - though headphones won't do it for me. Other people, like my musician/wife can't do it at all! When she listens to my system she hears music reproduced - but her mind doesn't imagine it as real.

Most audiophiles are in between. Of course, some audio enthusiast could care less, they want to hear the musical details - timber, intonations... I call those folks "technical listeners" and they have a completely different approach to this hobby.
