Amir, I certainly will not argue that many professional musicians have „easy playback“ with no demand for audiophile artifacts in their sound. This is often because they are drawn into the music at a „different“ level. The imaging that the audiophile wants has nothing to do with the reality that they experience daily on stage. The HF and LF extension that an audiophile praises is almost never integrated and makes real instruments sound wrong.
I find the term audio IQ laughable and the claim that you have to be smart to have it even more problematic. I would simply prefer that you talk about sound and music and avoid the hardware elitism that only demonstrates something quite opposite to IQ.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
