Airyness and relaxation

Posted by: Charles44 on 26 February 2018

I came across this phrase yesterday in a post about the CD5xs and the use or not of a flatcap with it. Now I queried what this meant in relation to listening to music but there was no answer. I wonder if anyone here can enlighten me, or not.

Assuming that your question isn't a windup, I think the phrase means that you can sense the space within which the music exists and that it has the same feeling of being unconstrained by equipment performance that you get in a live situation. So with your eyes shut, you can believe it's all there in front of you.

But over-defining these subjective terms is not helpful I think.
