Preception of SQ

[raytard]

until you sit in a car competently set up for sq and know what to look for, you would never understand what everyone is going on about.

Your definition of SQ might just be that it doesnt sound like garbage. Others think it meant you spent alot on high end equipment.

Those in the know realize its more about faithfully reproducing the music as it was recorded, no "coloration" from overpowered subs or overly sensitive tweeters, no distortion, no clipping, no static or background noises. The people at the top levels just want to go a step farther, they worry about staging and imaging. In a car that's set up right, you can tell where the singer is standing relative to the rest of the band, which way the guy with the trumpet is looking, whether the drummer has his snare on the right or the left, etc. Its stunning to listen to well recorded music on a properly set up system and realize "holy shit! that guy on the horn walked across the stage while they were recording?" or the fact that the drums were in a different position than the previous track. You can literally tell where everything is, you don't hear a speaker at all, all you hear is sound coming from fucking thin air, and thats sq

Now imagine if we used recording sources that used binaural recording and had more than 2 channels. Shit would be so cash.

edit
