[QUOTE="d0dja, post: 94297, member: 2244"] A phrase I never really see in review stuff is 'transparency' -- i.e. a 'transparent' sound reproduction system behind a curtain would be indistinguishable from a real live artist playing the same piece from behind a curtain. So if transparency is not the ideal, then much audiophilia seems to be about what colouring or distortion or other artifacts 'sound nice'. ~R (in R&D into lossy encoding transparency is important e.g. http://electronicdesign.com/article/analog-and-mixed-signal/testing-for-audio-transparency16802.aspx) [/QUOTE]
