Default Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.

Well, some of them are. Others want to make the music sound the way they like it to sound. Yet others feel that since stereo is a huge illusion anyway, to which there is a range of different responses, they need to set things up in the best way to trick their particular brain into recreating a 3-dimensional sound field, when all it's got to work with is a 1-dimensional (two points define a straight line) source.

Folks who don't spend time in the company of music fans are sometimes surprised at how diverse they are. There are some who are very focused on technical accuracy. There are others who have a clear view (not always correct, perhaps, but clear nonetheless) of how the music actually sounded live. There are others who are keen to experiment with all sorts of 'effects' and gizmos. These sub-groups, and others too, regard one another more critically than we regard them.

Cheers,

GJ
