found this while surfing

Note: It must be considered that there are some people whose hearing acuity is far greater than the average, and they may well hear things that we 'mere mortals' cannot. For such individuals, a particular cable might indeed show an improvement (or at least a difference), but this does not mean that the same improvement/difference will be audible to anyone else.

The majority of this series of articles is directed at the majority of listeners - no surprise there. Just because some rare person with hearing that is well above average can hear a difference does not mean that everyone will do so, although it is unlikely that anyone will admit to being unable to distinguish one from another. No-one wants to be classified as being 'tin-eared', and especially so if they have spent a lot of time and money on their system.

Yes, there are a (very) few people who can genuinely be considered to have 'golden ears', just as there are a few musicians who have perfect pitch, and various other individuals with a particular skill in some area that most of us lack. Just as no-one will normally reject the photographs taken from a camera (for example) that one person can see are ever so slightly flawed (but look fine to us), then nor should we reject a cable that sounds just fine.

Indeed, the variations in different recordings (even of the same material - and especially so with vinyl!) will be far greater than the variations of any cable with reasonable construction and sensible design.

biased article

cant stop listening to my set

HAHA

changed cables

silver QED cables to my room and copper to the living room

RESULTS

the Yamaha set sounds better than before

Sansui set so much better

REASON

Yamaha and my floorstanders were already bright sounding so silver would be a nightmare

Sansui's signature is usually dark and the speakers needs some mids boost; not bright enough

here's Sansui S-50 speakers

Sansui A-80 amplifier

planning for reshuffling

need help

got this 2 today

pioneer dvd and yahama amp i think haha

and a samsung vcd player

not forgetting also S50 Sansui speakers

match my Sansui amp

HOHO HAHAHA WOOHOOOOOOOO

yeah some unfinished biz here and there

lots to do actually

cousins hahaha brother n sis

random surfing n found this article hahaha

blogging later again with pics

hope so if i aint lazy hoho

Aggressive - Forward and bright sonic character
Ambience - Impression of an acoustic space, such as the performing hall in which a recording was made.
Analytical - Highly detailed
Articulate - intelligibility of voice(s) and instruments and the interactions between them.
Attack - The leading edge of a note and the ability of a system to reproduce the attack transients in music.
Balance - essentially tonal balance, the degree to which one aspect of the sonic spectrum is emphasized above the rest. Also channel balance, the relative level of the left and right stereo channels
Body - Fullness of sound, with particular emphasis on upper bass. Opposite of thin.
Boxy - The sound of a loudspeaker with audible cabinet resonances
Bright - A sound that emphasizes the upper midrange/lower treble.
Dark - A tonal balance that tilts downwards with increasing frequency. Opposite of bright.
Decay - The fadeout of a note, it follows the attack.
Definition (or resolution) - The ability of a component to reveal the subtle information that is fundamental to high fidelity sound.
Depth - Perception of music being produced behind the loudspeakers and inhabiting a reproduction of the acoustic space of the original recording.
Detail - The most delicate elements of the original sound and those which are the first to disappear with lesser equipment.
Dry - A sound that is devoid of "juice", which usu. comes across as fine-grained and lean. Also a loss of reverberation as produced by a damped environment.
Dynamic - The suggestion of energy and wide dynamic. Related to perceived speed as well as contrasts in volume both large and small.
Euphonic - An appealing form of distortion that generally enhances perceived fidelity, often ascribed to the harmonic elaborations of some valve amps.
Fast - Good reproduction of rapid transients which increase the sense of realism and "snap".
Focus - A strong, precise sense of image projection.
Forward(ness) - Similar to an aggressive sound,a sense of image being projected in front of the speakers and of music being forced upon the listener.
Grainy - A slightly raw, exposed sound which lacks finesse.
Grip - A sense of control and sturdiness in the bass.
Hard - Uncomfortable, forward, aggressive sound with a metallic tinge.
Harsh - Grating, abrasive
Imaging - The sense that a voice or instrument is in a particular place in the room
Juicy - Sound that has joie de vivre, energy and life.
Low-Level Detail - The quietest sounds in a recording.
Musical (or musicality) - A sense of cohesion and subjective "rightness" in the sound.
Naturalness - Realism
Opaque - Unclear, lacking transparency.
Open - Sound which has height and "air", relates to clean upper midrange and treble.
Pace - Often assoc. with rhythm, a strong sense of timing and beat.
Presence - A sense of instrument and voice occupying a place in the listening room.
Presence Range - The upper midrange
Seismic - Very low bass that you feel rather than hear
Sibilance - An emphasis of the "S" sound, often heard on radio.
Snap - A system with good speed and transient response can deliver the immediacy or "snap" of live instruments.
Speed - A fast system with good pace gives the impression of being right on the money in its timing.
Sturdy - Solid, powerful, robust sound.
Thick - A lack of articulation and clarity in the bass
Thin - Bass light
Timbre - The tonal character of an instrument
Timing - A sense of precision in tempo.
Transient - The leading edge of a precussive sound. Good transient response makes the sound as a whole more live and realistic.
Transparency - A hear-through quality that is akin to clarity and reveals all aspects of detail.
Veiled - Loss of detail due to limited transparency.
Warm - A fullness in the lower midrange/upper bass.
Weight - A sense of substance and underpinning produced by deep, controlled bass.

And finally, Newbie - A person that usually don't understand the terms above and very likely to burn their pockets in the coming months.

HAHAHAHAHA

blogger somewhat slow dots ah

choc muffin been hidden under some papers in its container for a month i think
