So, basically, all you're saying is that you like inaccurate sound that may not represent the source material. That's fine and totally acceptable. I like some "warmth" to my music as well. Similarly, others appreciate what you call "analytical" or accurate, uncolored sound. That, too, is fine. But, you do need to get off this anti-"sound geek" high horse. It sounds immature at best. I work with ears on a daily basis. Your ears and the signals interpreted by your brain as sound are largely the same as the majority of the healthy-hearing population. There is no argument in this--it's human physiology and not subject to your "emotions". Any downstream interpretation of this sound as something different or, as you put it, "organic" is through the introduction of bias. Again, I understand where you're coming from regarding listening to, interpreting and enjoying music but lose the pretentiousness... -- El Duderino ------------------------------------------------------------------------ El Duderino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8171 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61877 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
