Crossroad

 A lot, I mean a lot, had been done on acoustics since my last posting. A new revelation after another, more sound is unveiled. Oh man! I can't stop and keep going with acoustics. Beyond excitement, this is like ecstasy. A private journey, a private achievement, a private fulfilment, nevertheless. This would not be possible without the love of labor. Passive tuning shows me the straight path to Rome. I know that many will not agree with, I get it, all of us walk different path, experiences and pick up things along the way to congeal their stand and approach. I can live with that.

Upon audio pursuit, you will come to a crossroad. Be honest with yourself on your audio pursuit, a system for music enjoyment or to build a technical flawless system. Both call for different approach. I'm all for the earlier system.

I got a few myths to bust. 

Accuracy is a fallacy. To begin with, you need to know real sound to benchmark. We never know real sound of the recordings to verify. In this case, a believable sound becomes a more realistic objective. 

Flat frequency response is a fallacy. Listen for yourself, they sound hi-fi. I can't bear the highs emphasis. not realistic, the epitome of a measure perfect system.

Cable loom is a fallacy. Too much of good thing backfire. 

Perfect system is a fallacy, there isn't any.
