I have stated previously that to me the high frequencies contour is what typically differentiates a “natural” or vintage presentation from a modern or hi-fi presentation. So I’m curious, Al do you hear all the high frequencies resolution and detail that is typically rendered by most high-end system, in your everyday life or when listening to live unamplified acoustic music?
Ron, it is possible that one shaves off the HFs, but it is also possible that the other enhances them.
I listened to all three videos before Myles took his down. I listened through a fairly neutral DAC and headphones which are a bit warm leaning. I mostly agree with Al. Although, I didn't think Myles' system was bright. It just sounded lean. Leanness can give you the illusion that a system is bright. "Tipped up" (by virtue of leanness) is fair to say. And Goldmund is like that IME. But to me, the treble quality itself in Myles system was fine. The Altec system, though, was indeed boring. It's a rock and roll system for people who don't like rock and roll. Flat, dense, and unengaging vintage sound. Girl with guitar might work on it though. It'd probably have a romantic sound and tug at your heartstrings. But treble rolloff is never a virtue, and that kind of color pollutes all music. Myles' system is closer to the sound I like than the Altec system. Neither were close enough.
I'm hoping that "it's just a video" goes without saying. I can only comment on what I hear in the video. And Al, I'm sure your system rocks. More crunch and less syrup!
I’m curious about this Zeppelin on Mike’s system. Is there a video out there? Which speakers did he use?The Altec video was the best rock I ever heard in person outside the Zeppelin on Mike's system.
All good, I am just wondering why did Steve leave an orange Kettlebell in the plant's flowerpot. An interesting use of it.Nice Zellaton mention during this interview.

This song is superb! Such a great finding @APP . Sadly, it's not listed on Tidal/Qobuz or am I missing something?
