| Cables & Merlin TSM-XMr I will be getting the new Merlin TSM MMi speakers soon. I know that the Cardas cables are recommended. But I already have non-active (and non-silver) ICs and speaker wire from Synergistic research in my old system. Will an upgrade to any of the ac... | |
| Audio Magic -- the new power conditioners Hi Kennesawjet, thanks for letting me know about this. I have my amp and CDP plugged into a Synergistic Research Tesla Plex with Oyaide plugs. The sonic improvements were amazing over my previous set-up. I will be adding the Audio Magic conditione... | |
| Oyaide ... how to choose the right plugs and ... Thanks very much for your comments. I buy my Oyaides from vhaudio.com in the States and have them shipped over. I have heard differing opinions on the Tunami cords. I have never tried them. All I know is that I am very happy with the sound from th... | |
| What is Musicality? Kijanki, I agree. Without a passion for music then what's there to talk about here? But I have never given a thought to passion for music that is not accompanied by musicality. People who are musical but not into music? I guess it's possible. But ... | |
| What is Musicality? 2chnlben, This is exactly it, IMHO. Musicality refers to the human characteristic. Musicality is often used erroneously to describe equipment but as long as we understand this then we know that people mean musical when they are talking about the m... | |
| What is Musicality? Hello everyone, In my last posting I forgot to add a comment made by my friend -- the one who doesn't believe in cords, cables, plugs and receptacles -- about my speakers. I have the Totem Rainmakers but they will be soon replaced by the latest Me... | |
| What is Musicality? Nilthepill, your comment is not off topic. It is exactly what the topic is all about. I also feel that musicality is IN you. The quality and/or synergy of your system creates the technical side of musicality. Most people find they enjoy their musi... | |
| What is Musicality? Chazro, I will take a line from Steely Dan. "I'm learning how to meditate. So far so good." I'm learning how to improve my system. So far so good. Once I add the Merlin speakers and the EMM I think my new system will be far more "involving" than m... | |
| What is Musicality? Tonywinsc, I agree. I am the same way -- running lines and looking for small ways to improve the sound -- a silk pillow under the CDP helped a lot. I made a couple of plug changes a few days ago and the enjoyment factor went into the stratosphere.... | |
| What is Musicality? Well, you're all making very good points today, IMHO. Jax2 no apology needed. I think we're talking about the same thing in different ways, like a diamond with different facets. I think that the "studies" over a period of quite a few decades confi... | |
| What is Musicality? Jax2, I was not trying to elevate women or audiophiles in my comments. I was just trying to point out the different ways different people experience music. For me experiencing music in its wholeness is what musicality is all about. I believe that ... | |
| What is Musicality? Tiggerfc, I agree with you completely.Sabai | |
| What is Musicality? Onhwy61, "understand/comprehend" connote an intellectual or cerebral attitude toward music appreciation. I am not using the word appreciation in this way at all. I use the word appreciate to mean the ability to enjoy. Different people enjoy music ... | |
| What is Musicality? Byroncunningham, you make some very astute observations here. IMHO it is very important to differentiate between expertise and appreciation. It cannot be an a priori assumption that expertise necessarily means a greater sense of appreciation. The ... | |
| What is Musicality? Tiggerfc, you're as close to what I am saying as I am. Musicality, the music, is inside us. Getting lost in it and really enjoying the musical experience does not depend on the gear. But good gear sure can enhance the experience.Sabai |
