@Cognessence@social.linux.pizza @silvermoats@mastodon.social yeah it's funny how people on hifi forums talk about instruments sounding natural and how good the staging is when the song is a guy playing acoustic guitar and singing into two diff mics and it was mixed on a board
but then if you do put a stereo/binaural pair into a room/venue with the same guy in then it just sounds like ass, so it's more about how well the illusion is holding up than anything ykwim

@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.
