I am reading Chuck and MikeL & sbnx post about "smearing."
What is "smearing" in audio?
J. Gordon Holt's glossary provides: "smearing: Severe lack of detail and focus."
Okay, but then smearing is a pretty egregious problem -- like a connector isn't making full electrical contact, or a phono cartridge stylus is covered by goop.
Is "smearing" -- other than due to some major malfunction -- a real thing?
