What Color is your system


By virtue of the laws of physic no sound can be percieved as unaltered from its way from the vocalist musician or other sound to mastering enginneering circuit and voicing manipulation. to the duplcation process electronic and physical variation to you feeding it through an assembly of electronics presumably chosen to suit your favorite voicing .
Thus no earthbound system no matter how much one wants to believe is absolutely pure nor purely perfect am immaculate not touched.
Thee artfacts of reproduced music I call color.
Please no my system is silver colored etc sophomoric jokes.
I like my sound rich and full but not rolled off the opposte is my preference . Mine is the proverbial Big Tone preference. I like it a little bumped up in mids and upper bass but be very well defined at the any point. I admit like it rich and warm but never blurry fuzzy or unclear I simpoly the very British recessed politeness unbearable with regard to bass. My treble is very airy and transparent very dimensional great imagery.
As a color I would say medium warm but clean.
Whats do you think your system and preferences are for variation from the truly impossible perfect total neutral many seem to think is the "right answer" no matter how difficult it is to listen to orclaim aspire to .
Euphonic is a fine thing and by no means a vulgar curse.
So How about you?. What do you like.
An actual color designation BTW might be a yellow orange in my imagination of the spectrum with red representing warmth in the extreme. Artic ocean blue for cool coloration in that extreme starkness speed no real timbral decay not rich toned a pure precise simple note with no added fat .

What do you think I am kidding about. Are you saying you have no coloration in your system? Or do you think I jest that I like a warmish richly toned clean sound. Or that my premise is wrong and your of the belief that the recording mastering, duplication, and playback component choices do not alter the actual music played?
I spent nearly the entire question I posed explaing that I am convinced that recording music and your chosen playback system changes the initial sound at the time it was produced. In almost any description of audio -that is the recording or the gear used in playback the term colored is understood. It is the inevitable impact of all the parts alone and together that you percieve you find and I hope like that your system does resulting in your preferred style,voice or sound you use to desrcribe your sound to be.
BTW I MEANT ONLY if I HAD TO assign an ACTUAL color I would use this color to describe what I think warm is.

By no means did I expect these concrete answers about the color that a system congers in your inner thoughts if any.
To be clear I am talking about colored in the manner seen everyday in these forums. .
I like the mind study type explanations and some cute jokes but I hoped you would advocate for a voicing tendency such as how I desribed my preferences. Thanks for your interest in any event.
I learned that one member would describe their system as being one that would amputate your head. That is a sytem I couldn't live with. However I doubt it is fatuiging.
