Audiophile Word Salad

Of course SOTA reference gear then was something an average PhD likely could afford. Now I think you need to be a venture capitalist or banker or something.

Affordability was and is a difficult and complex issue. What has definitely changed is that the definition of SOTA has been corrupted by the rise of boutique products that are super expensive but may or may not be any more SOTA than less, but still, expensive products. Personally, I do not feel left out by not being able to afford the most expensive.

"What started out unrecognizably muddy, homogenous, stale, flat and compacted now had unzipped and unfolded into three dimensions. Overhead stage lights illuminated the front/back perspective with clearly sorted distances. The stuff between sounds was gone to separate them, not bind them up like a 10-car accident. The greyish pallor had lifted to display proper colours."

Are these guys kinesthetics synesthetics, that see sounds as colors?

Or is it all just one giant trolling?

Translated from synesthetics to kinesthetics.

What started out as a stiff, constipated, flaccid condition unfolded into effortless easy movement in three dimensions. The arthritic condition had lifted to feel like a highly tuned cat able to pounce upon its prey with effortless mindless athletic abandon.

Or something like that. Sorry, a little fun at your expense watchnerd.

Six moons has really good pictures and tons of this writing that sounds wonderful reading it and then you wonder if it can really mean anything after you have read it.

Real audio reviewing seems incredibly tedious, but just writing random stuff like 6 Moons does seems a lot more fun.

7. Coated in dark chocolate:

"The Fortis is much more rich and weighty. All players have more mass and the entire spectrum is coated in dark chocolate. It’s addictively smooth".

Sounds like the cable equivalent to Ben&Jerry's ice cream.

Well, I was worried for a while, but given that I love both dark chocolate and ice cream, I can now sleep well knowing my audiophile club card is intact.

Yes, that's it.
But it's only a small fraction of the print book. The web-page has 18 'A' words while the printed book has 140 'A' words. Some definitions are the same, while others are longer or shorter or just different.
