Resolution....

Exactly. When you hear more into the recording, up to the point when you can hear different recording sessions spliced together, when the voice sounds thinner and the instrumentation more full, when one element is close mic’d vs further, as in the recording…. Is awesome.
Resolution allows a listener to differentiate all elements of recorded sound based on frequency, timing and amplitude. The more accurately those 3 components are reproduced i.e without distortion and without interference, the better the brain can differentiate between sounds based on small differences in tone, spacial position and interrelated amplitudes. For example a reflected sound based on the primary sound’s amplitude, the delay in hearing the reflection, the amplitude of the reflection and the reflection’s tonal spectral shift. When all those elements are correct, you’ll hear a good rendition of the music with the performance venue well resolved. Any distortions in amplitude, tonal accuracy and phase (timing) will blur those subtle differences, which you’ll then hear as a form of distortion rather than as venue detail.
When a system suffers from lack of resolution, those unresolved details don‘t disappear, rather they are just combined with and therefore distort other parts of the music. When the sounds can be properly separated from one another by the brain they are said to be resolved.

Being able to pick something in a recording like a solo singer in a chorus or a single instrument in a complex composition and follow it.
What we all do on New Years and don't follow through.

I just acquired an Audion Super Sterling KT120 single ended pentode amp.
Over my Pass X150.8, It’s presenting resolution that is a marked improvement like hearing an oboe’s wood body vibrate with its reed, experience hyper real voices and a bonus, spatial cues thats even more tangible. I wasnt expecting much over satiating my curiosity of this amp. Quite pleased.
Enjoying my Sunday morning.

One great attribute of the total combination of my new amplification system can be summed up as “I Can Hear Clearly Now”.
