Funny, I was by far not the first one raising objections to the thread title back in 2021. Several others did before me. But maybe they are more sensitive than their speakers too.
Peter's reaction to Ralph spurred this current episode. looking for the higher road. dismissing Ralph's intensions. which is fine and good but some did not agree with him that he was in such a position to claim that.I am not discussing the provocativeness of the content and discussions that happened, but to keep on because of the thread title 3 years later...
seriously? poking the bear is always fun. and this was very much that.

matters of opinion. so we threw that around for a few posts. he claims not to care about the views on the name and related issues, but he cared about how it causes his thread to be viewed.

it's one of the hang out threads and like the others there is content and banter and petty sh*t. and people and moods.I am not debating that point Mike. I was just riddling Al he also hasn't been letting go on small pieces and sometimes this thread keeps going through the same loop for three years

Dear Peter
I think I know what it (Natural sound) means but trying to describe “natural sound” for all audiophiles is not easy.
My experience about more natural sound is :
- accurate phase 20-20khz (no overshoot or distortion in time domain)
Like NOS dacs, 6db crossover, …
- natural tone (even at higher distortion)
Like Copper cables, good SET amplifiers, paper drivers …
- more dynamic/live (both macro and micro dynamics) with less compress/damp sound
Like good Horns …
I’ve been a drummer for north of 20 years. If a snare drum is reproduced accurately it sounds natural to a drummer. It’s that simple.
Yet every system you listen to that snare drum on is going to sound a little different...
Of course. We are talking degrees of realism. Relative terms. In absolute terms no hi fi system will ever sound like my drum set to me. I thought that was a given.Yet every system you listen to that snare drum on is going to sound a little different...and none of them are really going to sound like the real thing!
I put in bold the key adjectives here.Yes, and another reason that “accurate” does not quite work as a descriptor, but as long as some of those systems make the drum sound convincing or believable or realistic, the word “natural” works just fine.
If it were a given for everyone this discussion would not have started...Of course. We are talking degrees of realism. Relative terms. In absolute terms no hi fi system will ever sound like my drum set to me. I thought that was a given.

i think you and your mentor get a little kick out getting under the skin of members who don't like the way you use your system name. not a big deal, but a deal. .....'poking the bear'. get a reaction. and draw attention.You make these claims @Mike Lavigne . Are you willing to support them? What is the bear?
