Post Subject: How I'd wish to write in my language...Posted by twogoodears on: 8/30/2008
... to better express myself, with every needed nuance...

Roman: I never wrote I'm able to time-align my speakers, I only told you I quite recently began "moving" drivers and horns as I never did in the past few years, NOT simply looking for a practical and aesthetic result with a good sound, BUT looking for the BEST sound possible in my room with my gears for my ears... a World of difference, IMHO... if doing this also means "time-aligning", well... I'm trying to time-align my system. I'm a beginner at this... and the first results are encouraging, like with DPoLS, also if I'm quite lazy and never in a hurry.

Anyway... re. your request about "what" I use while tuning... make sense I list I'm using my very personal choice of music: Bert Jansch "Rosemary Lane" on Transatlantic, Ruggero Ricci's "The Glory of Cremona", playing several Guarneri del Gesù, Stradivari, Amati, etc. violin and piano, on Decca but also, as few minutes ago, the 4 discs edition 45 r.p.m./single sided David Crosby "If I could only remember my name" or an EMI Reflexe Anthony Bailey lute music disc of Mouton, and other French composers... and many other titles. A system MUST play whaever please its owner/user... can't stand people spending BIG BUCKS in audio and always using 5/10 records which please and fullfill their system! It's aethically wrong, as I blame Super-discs lists... boooo! 

Most important is that the listening session, for pleasure, entarteinement, etc. is not so from the tuning listening session: I'm not really clever to "listen to my system", BUT ALWAYS I WISH TO LISTEN TO MUSIC, if you get the paradox... if the by-product of this slow process is enhancing musical enjoyment through a fine tuning of my audio system... OK!

I'm definitely a musician - an acoustic guitar player - and I NEVER listen to my Lowden or pre-war Martin to listen to the Brazilian Rosewood or to the new strings... I simply "live" the playing act, using an accurately tuned fine instrument, appreciating Music first and harmonic structure and spreading in the air aroung me, the player... music as a 360° experience.

That's it... humbly hope this helps to clarify my simple approach in music.
