Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I am thinking again about “detail” in the context of this thread.  The issue is which, what sort and/or how much/many detail “should” we be able to hear at any given volume setting?

I have been guilty of enjoying details, etc. I knew were more obvious than they should be according to a given volume setting, relative to the putative/supposed volume of “the original performance”.  I don’t always want my music played back at “live” volumes, yet I crave certain cues.  It may be that I want something between “realistic” detail and “interesting” detail, given parity with other aspects of playback, and none of this to be confused with "neutral".

I still have too much work to do with my front end to conclude anything about the TAP and Shastakovich, but I just want you to know, Romy, as I sail by the window at the 54th floor), so far, so good…

Perhaps, Romy, you can comment on the Symphony # 10, Svetlanov/USSR Symphony/Melodia, to help with my bearings.  I have only heard this performed live once in my life, many years ago.
