Analogue perfection vs. DEQX perfection (Off Topic)

To summ it all up :
With unprocessed (and good) playback means, the size of the recording room
caNot (will not) be bigger than the room you are listeing in;
The smaller the listening room, the less recording rooms you will be able
to listen to for reality (you'll miss out on the larger rooms).
When you have really large rooms for playback (like a church), things will
go the other way around : the small recording room will start echoing
indeed.

Whether the last is really true I don't know; anyway I recall myself
playing classical music via my playback system in a church. I don't recall
anything else than natural perceivement of the enormeous hall an
undecorated church would produce. The recording sure wasn't taken from a
church, but from an acoustically well treated concert hall.

Hi Peter

Run to your :grin: barstool....the favourite one I normally use when I'm listening in your Church. (You certainly also serve better booze than the churches does :party: )

I find my self more agreeing with you, than disagreeing.

However one small comment which after all might not conflict with you learnings:

Let's schrink our listening rooms as far as to a pair of headphones. I think this is as small as a listening room can get.

Then we don't hear our traditional listening room anymore. It's outside the headphones.
But when I dress myself with a pair of headphones I hear of course the sound somewhere inside the middle of my head.....but have certainly an illusion that that head is as big as a Cathedral? :shame: Its does not look too good from outside though... hehehe :grin:

If I use my big headphones called my present speakers, would that situation not take sound beyond the physical wall as an illusion?

In your barstool I noticed several orchestral members sitting outside your house somewhere on your laun.

GC :wink:
