Amir,
yes it is very much true but not in the context you
think it is true. The main force of audio industry distraction of audio was not
introduction of bad equipment or faulty audio producing techniques but seeding
in the audio consumer faulty expectation regarding the entire meaning of “better”
audio. As the resole we have generation or audio consumers who are kind of clueless
what they do in audio and the industry juts keep furnishing irrelevant products
and means of audio production to these aimless people. Frankly speaking most of
you thinking about audio that you expressed at this site is just an evidence of
audio aimlessness, and to a degree I feel that you are very much a victim of
the consumerism of the audio industry that you are trying to criticize. I’m might be getting you wrong, I admit that
I do not read your posts attentively but
from the few that I did read I feel your criticism about audio industry is no different
than a blind person criticize people who use canes or waking dogs.
If you care about my view than I would recommend you to take
time out of internet audio and exchanging your idea with others about audio.
This is very much dead end. Focus of specific segment of music you are
interested. It might be a period, a composer of even one specific work. Then
learns whatever you might about this work, about the history and circumstances,
get 100s different recommended interpretations of the work. Learn the world to
the point that you can play it in your head. Think about this work, connect it
to everything you know about life and your other experiences. Then, only then begin
to listen this selected work on you playback and try to answers to yourself a question
if your playback is something that helps you or prevents you to get the deeper meaning
of the work or a specific interpretations of the work. If you feel that your
playback does not advance you in getting this sepsis work and do not offer to
you any new opportunities in your ethical or spirituals development then trash
your playbacks and start collecting stamp. If you feel that your playback does something
to you but not in the direction where you feel you would like to go culturally
of musical then start to work on your playback. Then, only then you can ask
others what/how to do with your playback but I promise you then you will be
asking very different questions…
Until then I do not think whatever you write manes any sense,
at least to me. I have plenty of 3 years old in my life to hear their conclusions
about world and I do not need to read about the same conclusions from my audio
site that reportedly should be about “advanced audio and evolved music
reproduction techniques”Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
