Resolution, The Double-Edged Sword
from The Hifi Podcast with Darren and Duncan · host Duncan Taylor, Darren Myers
When hifi speaker makers offer more than one "flavor" of speaker, it's typically to satisfy both audiophiles who seek more resolution, and those who want a more "fun" speaker. This is a wise move, as neither camp is likely to be swayed by a middle-of-the-road compromise.One of the joys about the audiophile hobby is that you don't have to compromise your desired path. What sounds good to you IS good for you. It's because of this that we see so many approaches to the same objective in hifi audio.This freedom and variety means that many people are chasing many different sounds. And when it comes to the topic of system resolution, this is an area where we see people differ more than others."Resolution is a double-edged sword" means that with it, you can reach new heights. But you're also presented new challenges. In this episode of The Hifi Podcast, the guys talk about what resolution means, and how to find your resolution "sweet spot."Just for fun, this episode was done in backwards show order. Enjoy.

What this episode covers
In hifi audio, our lexicon is pretty extensive. So much so, that sometimes, our words can trip over themselves and show up substituted for other words as we're trying to express what we think about how a thing sounds. We have the "Rs", which are Revealing, Resolving and Ruthless. And there are probably more than just that, but in this episode of The Hifi Podcast, the guys talk about the ins and outs -- and the ups and downs of resolution.
