The audiophile definition of a "warm" sound signature has nothing to do with distortion and audiophile's do not "eschew fidelity" for different sound signatures.
- Joeboy 6y ago> The audiophile definition of a "warm" sound signature I don't really know what, if anything, that means. But if we're talking about fidelity, surely the ideal would be no sound signature? If a particular "sound signature" makes it sound "warm", surely it's decreasing the fidelity?
- Drew_ 6y agoYou're lack of knowledge of this matter is very evident and you're skepticism and confusion would be very easily cleared if you made an actual honest exploration into hi-fi audio
- tonyarkles 6y agoI'm an EE and have made an honest exploration into this topic many times, and yet still have no explanation of "warmth" beyond the addition of distortion resulting in even-ordered harmonics. Which is precisely a decrease in the SNR from input-to-output. That might sound good! But it's a less-than-perfect reproduction of the source signal. If there's a better explanation than what I've come across every time I've search for this, I'm all ears and honestly open to being corrected.
