So when this is the case, is the revealing system revealing distortion?
Hello, Tim. IME, it could be that or that it is creating distortion to achieve the desired effect some would consider detail.

The more precise the equipment, the more precise the user must be. If you are lazy, get something colored to your tastes and be done with it.

. If the system is revealing, and you haven't made the foolish error of mating a particularly transparent amp with a flawed source or pre, there is only one thing for a system to reveal: The recording.

I think your estimation is correct. I suspect what Jack and Audioarcher are referring to below has to do with laying bare flaws in the media. If the system is revealing, and you haven't made the foolish error of mating a particularly transparent amp with a flawed source or pre, there is only one thing for a system to reveal: The recording.

The trick is knowing whether the recording is flawed or the playback system. The more experienced you are the easier it is to tell them apart.

Since we are using analogies. I will take it a step further. A more revealing system may let you see the blemishes more clearly but will also let you experience the beauty of the music with greater intensity. It's like kissing a beautiful woman for the first time. When you go in for the kiss, you might be able to more easily see her imperfections. But who cares? You are about to kiss a beautiful woman!Tim if your have one at home retrieive it and perform the following experiment. Are you famailar with the beautician mirror. It has two sides. One is the natural reflection, the other is magnifying. They can be purchased at your local beautician shop, if you don't have one. The normal side is transparent, the magnifying side is revelaaing. Look into the normal side. You see a perfect relection of your face. Now flip it over . You see a much closer reflection completet with blemishes.
Tha's the difference.

Very fine, highly resolving systems come with a tremendous curse.
Many recordings you found thrilling and used to enjoy on your previous system become almost unlistenable on the new refined one.
