Which attributes do you value most?


Here is a list of attributes commonly valued by audiophiles, in no particular order:

1. Resolution
2. Soundstaging
3. PRaT
4. Dynamics
5. Tonal balance
6. Harmonic content
7. Accuracy
8. Coherence
9. Frequency extension
10. Scale

The list could go on and on, but you get the idea. I’m interested to hear which attributes people prioritize above others. I don’t really have an agenda, except to learn more about how people’s values influence their approach to system building. With that in mind, it would be helpful if you listed a few of your components (assuming your system isn’t linked). So...

I prefer a system that is musical, organic, emotional, involving, glorious, stylish, satisfying, fun, and soulful.
Openness/clarity is paramount for me. Not that the others are unimportant.

But get rid of those veils. All of them.
