You sure she wasn't wearing heels when she recorded? Hahahahahaha.
I met her when we were playing the same clubs and coffee houses in college. Perhaps she just kept growing into her mid twenties.

I guess we're back to tasting that good red wine then again ...I'm sure elimination of distortion helps to some degree in creating an illusion. I guess all I'm saying is that if a 3-D walk in stage is your ultimate goal removal of distractions may count a lot but isn't enough. In my mind, there's no way doing away with distortion can counteract fundamental deficiencies
Yes, they should be, and IMO they are, with essentially all systems. Remember, I believe that the illusion results from a subtractive process, not additive. That is, not that you have to add better and better components to get there, but you take away the bits, the sometimes tiny bits that degrade the setup, that stop the illusion happening. Also remember I have achieved this effect with a variety of CD players, amplifiers and speakers, in a range from pretty reasonable quality to downright mediocre. This is definitely telling me something ...Fundamentals have to be in place from the get go.
We still have to dance with the dates we bring to the dance. In this scenario "satisfaction" can be had with state of mind more easily IMO especially if she's got pretty eyes.
That's what I thought when I agreed to do the analog/digital thing with the PNWAS and was fool (brave?) enough to start a thread here about it.
the measurements that are typically made IMO don't actually address the area that I believe is the problem.
where are the tests that demonstrate that there are no changes in levels of treble distortion, particularly of the IMD variety, where the treble signals are low to very low in level, while there are high levels of lower frequencies also in the mix?
Would you be willing to swear that first, there would be no difference in the two test instances of that IMD result, and second, the IMD result in the second would be invariant, irrespective of the music type and from moment to moment?
the numbers you get can not be correlated with the perception of sound qualities.
What measurement will tell me that I'm hearing a six foot tall person playing his guitar and singing? What if he sounds like he is four foot tall and sitting down when I play it back?
What evidence do you have? Or what experiences led you to that conclusion?
Deal Gary. I guess I see this stuff as one long meandering thread spread across a few dozen different audio forums over a period of many years.

You conducted your tests and the subsequent thread with courage and balance, Gary. And you came to the only conclusion that matters: That in the face of beautiful music, it doesn't matter. It really doesn't get any more subjective/objective/high-end/musical/transparent than that. I'd guess that a man who thinks and judges that clearly probably makes great speakers. I'd love to hear them some day.

Thanks for the opportunity, Jack. Trouble is, you posted this at quarter to 3 in the morning, and contrary to Gary's vision of me, I do actually sleep ...Lay it on me. The kids have been tucked in and I've pretty much lined up my own procedure for cross reference.
That's the key phrase I was looking for. Just about everybody at some time has had some exposure to the experience even if it was only transitory, on their own system, or on someone else's. The big headache is that the very nature of what's happening means that it typically will only last a short period of time.while I have had glimpses of what you are shooting for I do not get it consistently
