jon_5912, Here’s what you said in your first post, just for the record, no pun intended,
“We cannot measure soundstage height. We also do not know what the soundstage height is on the recording so there is no way to determine what the correct height is. That means we also don’t know whether one component is more or less accurate when it sounds different in this area.
After doing a ton of reading and listening over about 20 years I’ve decided that these types of differences are most likely distortions that will improve perceived performance in one area and degrade it in another.”
>>>>I was attacking your statement that “we don’t know what the correct height of the soundstage is.” We obviously DO know in many or most cases since we DO know WHERE the recordings were made. Frankly, I’m becoming less and less interested in your “findings” over the last 20 years. If success was based on how much reading we did we’d all be geniuses.
jon_5912 also opined,
“When delusional reviewers and charlatans talk about a particular component having a lot of soundstage height, depth, etc. they don’t typically relate it to how big the recording space actually was, how the recording was made. When components are compared and one is said to have greater soundstage depth and no mention is made of what the depth of the actual soundstage was, there’s no reason to think the component with the greater depth is the more accurate one.”
>>>>>Whatever.
Note to self: What’s this, old stalkers’ week?
