![]() It'll get you to the same place for oodles less. I say blissful because you get to save serious shekels. If you're not used to paying attention here or perhaps don't know how, you'll remain blissfully oblivious. ![]() What's dissimilar is how the motion progresses. Neither does the time to reach any of them. ![]() It's about dynamic contrast in the micro-signal domain and music's horizontal dimension whereby it moves from beat to beat and tone to tone. It's not about frequency response, tonal balance or color saturation either. If you listen to just sounds or even for soundstage shifts, you'll miss this difference. Hardware past Pasithea: icOn 80Hz/4th-order active filter – high pass ⇒ Enleum AMP-23R ⇒ Aurai Lieutenant low pass ⇒ Kinki Studio EX-B7 ⇒ sound|kaos DSUB 15. While the microdynamic aspect should be easily measurable, I don't know what measurements would capture this particular elegance which on me registered as greater fluidity, easefulness or gush. If music had a gait to visualize its movement through time, the motion of the Dutch was more elegant. Clearly this difference wasn't about quantitative but qualitative time. One didn't rush where the other lingered. Regardless of source, each track took exactly the same time to finish. Obviously nothing changed metronomically. The mysterious aspect tied to music's progression through time. It did so enough to register as more emotive urgency, more expressive energy. That can't fail but expand microdynamic distinctiveness. The basic one was a probably even lower noise floor. One was most basic, the other more mysterious. Breaking it down, I arrived at two likely contributors. These are facets of one and the same observation. Yet another might pick starker versus more organic. From a slightly shifted perspective, another listener might use the words clipped and fluid. Over the residents the tunes felt somewhat pinched, over the visitor more gushing. Listen through a melodic arc beginning to end better yet a full track. Rodeo riders who buck off in eight seconds to switch sources will say that these rides sounded the same. Switching DAC inputs by remote then toggled instant A/B/A for couch potatoes and other mighty audiophile vegetables. #2: iMac ⇒ Audirvana ⇒ USB ⇒ Soundaware D300Ref ⇒ AES/EBU ⇒ Sonnet Pasithea. #1: 2.16 ultra ⇒ RJ45/I²S ⇒ Sonnet Pasithea. My hardware comparator paths were simple. So wear that audio cop badge at your own risk or better yet, log out. But today that's indeed where we're headed. They wear an aversion to feelings and changes of gestalt in audio commentary like a shiny badge of honor. It's to do with lightness, energy and that uncanny sense of feeling energized. It's their virtually instant boost of vitality which informs the difference after a meal. Processed foods also don't contain the vital forces of quickly absorbed living enzymes and vitamins. At worst digesting them makes us feel sleepy whilst released toxins store in our bodies for long-term ill effects. That's independent of processed foods ticking off caloric and recommended food-group percentages.įried foods and red meat take us more energy to break down. Compared to a raw fruit or mixed green salad, our body simply feels different afterwards. The sad success of fast-food franchises around the world attests to it. One can fry up perfectly tasty food with processed ingredients full of salt, sugar and fat. Bring on the Vegemite?
