I know there is no reason to describe my view about high end audio but i do not know why i am interested to do that in this forum.

I think we could categorize audio systems in 3 level.
Level 1 is a system that make you sad in long listening session because the sound do not make you relax for music listening in long term.
Level 2 is a system that it's sound do not change mind focus from music to sound and it let you to listen to the music for long period of time. sound is not attractive but listener is relax .
Level 3 is a system that in long term make you more interested to music listening. the sound is beautiful and emotional in higher level of perception.

Level 1 systems are 90% of audio market in a moderate-wrong "setup".
Level 2 systems are minimalist old fashion audio systems in a moderate-good "setup".
Level 3 systems are micro linear in a good "setup".

"setup" mean :
- good acoustic system plus speaker placement
- good AC Power
- proper isolation both AC and mechanical
- matching


My idea about audio:
i believe romy idea : the sound of a system is a reproduced sound that it has no relation to live music. and we should not score audio in a "audio system sound vs live music" concept.

good sound come from micro linear audio systems not macro linear audio systems. (Allen Wright describe it as DDR)
micro linear means the system is linear in micro dynamic and micro harmonic .
micro harmonic means when the forground music volume is high then the low level background music volume swing be very coherent , transparent and smooth.
please consider i say volume swing resolution not low level signal resolution.   
micro harmonic means the midrange should have 3d depth and body and in mid/high the sound not be lean and dark. the sound harmonic should be colorful with spark.

micro linearity will improve by good analog source (master tape) and good acoustic and speaker placement and micro harmonic will improve by good acoustic and good AC Power and it is limited by audio components design.

y is output signal and x is input signal.

ideal linearity , micro and macro both are linear , y=kx:




y=f(x) this is not macro linear but it is micro linear




y=f(x) this is macro linear but it is not micro linear :




y=f(x) this is not micro linear and it is not macro linear:
