It is common, and quite understandable, for listeners to blur the line between the creation of music and its reproduction on a playback system. By selecting this component over that one and tinkering with or adjusting the setup in certain ways, the listener feels they have moved a bit closer to the creation side of the process, that they've made a contribution to art. Hence, it is also not surprising when some get carried away with particularly effusive descriptions. Besides sometimes sounding like a cheap romance novel, the problem is these descriptions are often so fuzzy that they don't do a very good job of communicating to others what the writer meant. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86399 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
