In the Thread: The elusive “absolute tone”.
Post Subject: Disagree to agreePosted by Romy the Cat on: 11/2/2007
I think your problem with acceptance of “absolute tone” derives from your visualization audio tone is an imitation of musical tone. It is correct t form one side and it is a strategic mistake from another side. Let me to state it again and it is very imperative: audio does not produce the original sound it just reproduces it. The ordinal tone recorded and played back has little to do with original tone but rather it creates own producing environment in which the NEW tone get created, using the original tone as a blueprint. It is like a play of one quartet, was recorded in musical notes transcript and then was replied by other quartet. Audio is just a mechanism of recording the abstraction of original even and reinstating it by different means. If you feel that a cello of the original event has the “absolute tone” characteristics then why do you feel that vibration of speaker driver’s cone (along with many other things) should not have the “absolute tone” property? It is not the “absolute tone of cello” it is the “absolute tone” of audio drivers.
