@sean_ae@post.lurk.org @Cognessence@social.linux.pizza @silvermoats@mastodon.social i'm a fiend for incomprehensible/funny audiophile jargon myself. i think i just like things with a lot of nonsense words, like the "super legato linear" and "gibraltar chassis" on my current amp. i seem to remember the loudness button had an actual purpose though, but i'd need to look it up again. aiwa had incredible tech back then, like they made a couple of headphones (hp-t10 and x10) that had adjustable mechanical switches to adjust tuning for more bass.

@zweikreise@ravenation.club @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @silvermoats@mastodon.social I'm glad you joined this thread! (From conversations with zwei kreise about headphones / speakers and more, I know he is *greatly* holding back here. 😄 zwei kreise is like an endless well of good information on it all. It helps make it seem all the more magical that I'm almost entirely ignorant about it. :D )
