Would it be in 80 sunder Riccardo Muti? No wonder that it did not image.


You guessed it....say no more. I was not a huge fan of Maestro Muti, but the society babes who had season tickets definitely liked the leather jackets and the faint whiff of Euro cologne.

Imaging as it is known to hi-fi does not apply. The orchestra in the Academy of Music was the biggest sound blossom imaginable. Perlman on violin creates a sound bigger than a house that can contract to a tiny sharp slice. The direction he points the violin shifts the whole harmonic register. Hifi is an entirely different experience. Yet, I feel that the lack of imaging precision and precise localization would keep the orchestra off the Editors Choice list.

If the 3-D portrayal of an orchestra in a good hall is the goal, ALL audio gear is a joke.

Like I said, hifi can't even do Joe Roberts on the Marine Band harmonica in the key of C.

I have often wondered what I would hear if I set a good system on that stage and fired it up, then went to the balcony and listened. I could have done it back when we had the Academy keys, but did not have the foresight. Now I would be arrested if I tried it.

Incidentally, many professional classical players I met still had their Radio Shack systems from when they were in college. Most couldn't care less about hifi and were more than happy with a pair of old Advents or KLH. They were music listeners not hifi freaks like us.


The “perfect” or “imperfect” view and the philosophy about perception my kick in where the elemental and kindergarten question of rudimental audio problems are more or less resolved at the level of low announce.


OK then, address the question when various systems that beat the obvious failures are compared. Is there any criterion outside of personal taste?



Anyhow, I never made a secret that I discard any audio accomplishments if they are not match with “Content –Loaded music” ™ and synchronized with person’s advancement in understanding of more evolve nature of musicality than “it does give me a pressure”


Actually you are still talking about your "woody" and it it seems some highly specific, personal notion based on tastes and objectives that not all of us share is what gets you off.

Cool with me as long as I don't have to watch.

In all sincerity, I think what you are doing...chasing your own special pornographic ideal, is what we all should be doing. It is just that tying it to some scientifically verifiable objective standard is part of the particular fetish in play, not a human universal.

The "objectivism fetish" is on the order of desiring ladies with shaved heads wearing black rubber SS uniforms, except that it is perhaps more widely shared (see comment above regarding unrefective tendencies of Western civilization).

If you really want the black rubber, go for the black rubber. I'm not gonna stop you. But if you ask me my opinion, I prefer cotton underwear with little Sesame Street characters on it.

Huh? That is the highest evolution of musicality. You're talking about music right?

On that notion, props are due to old Gizmo Rosenberg. He nailed the ultimate goal: Musical Ecstasy.

Otherwise, why bother?

If you look at notions of human evolution, all of them end with the creatures who came up with the notions. Evolutionary theories are ways of convincing ourselves that we are the coolest, not that most of use need the theoretical and historical justification to arrive at those beliefs.
