Isn't it all about a regular creativity?

This is very interesting subject and my position about it very much not orthodox. Yes from certain perspective high end are there might be observed in context of evolved music listening experiences. In my view it is very surface point of view. I have plenty of people with whom we interact about very deep music listening experiences but over the years I never even ask them what playback they have, I do not even know if they practice audio in any sense. What is particular interesting that when I stress some specific points which might be observed only from a perspective of high-end audio they are completely with me or at least understand what I'm talking about. 


I am not elso in a complete agreement with that position above that it has something to do with love of technology. It of course might be, but not necessaraly necessary. 


I certainly not to pretend that my position would be some kind of universal and this is strongly my take on subject. I would point out to you my signature from the Friedrich. Before typewriter invention he was writing his work by the hands but when typewriter come to the existence he begin to type. In few years he observed by act of typing in the structured format, which typewriter demands, change the way how he began to think. There is his quote come from. I think it is very similar, at least to me, in regards of audio and music. I have an interest in certain musical expressionism and for me audio  is an invention of that proverbial typewriter, in order my thoughts be developed in a format that I approve. It is sort of a reverse engineering of my own consciousness and rendered by the means of application of audio algorithms.

The Thread That Joins Us
I hope we all believe and support the idea that "it's a free country", and anyone might freely express whatever they want with their audio pursuits. The topic of this thread might have been anything, but it is "Accuracy vs. Musicality (and YMMV)", to mine that particular, long-beleaguered topic. I suppose we usually pretty much beat any topic to death here, but the idea of objectives going in is fair game in this thread, I think, and it certainly helps to put various viewpoints into some context. I am glad that Romy created a new thread to jab "the industry" in this context, also glad he pointed out that there is not only nothing wrong with buying gear but added it is the sense of what one is doing that creates the atmosphere one breathes and inhabits while indulging in what is fundamentally a hobby for most of us. I don't remember audio being in Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs.
