source and amplification

source )) amplification )) sound production )) transcendence

While the experience of listening to a favorite piece of music may be viscerally emotional, the path that leads to that experience depends greatly on science and engineering. The fidelity of the signal from source to production distinguishes the high-end audio system from commoner ones.

For example, a common fallacy is to assume that because the CD source is digital, that all CD players are the same. In fact, a quick listen will show a marked difference in the sound of different CD players. Whether the sound is smooth or harsh, detailed or sparse, paced or strident listening is the surest test to convince yourself that there is a difference. Almost from the moment that the signal is lifted from the CD, the signal is converted from digital to analogue and in that step all of the designer's choices and the manufacturer's expertise is brought to bear.

Similarly, the purpose of amplification is simple: to take the smaller signal coming from the source and amplify it cleanly to drive the sound producers. Were it so simple to achieve the results. The question becomes, then, is the sound smooth or brittle, effortless or strained, liquid or jagged?

Trust yourself to judge what appeals to you.

Listen and experience the difference.
