If music is a transcendental, then there must exist a cosmic music, a harmony of the spheres, of which all our individual instances are merely imperfect copies, approximations.
 
The musician channels this cozmik muzak in his or her playing, and it is filtered through the individuality of said player, resulting in variety of composition and form.

Music has been defined as "a combination of sounds with a view to beauty of form and expression of emotion", in the film Hanna. I like that definition.
 
 
An interesting side note regarding the creation of music as merely a function of input and output:
 
"While he was in high school in the mid 1960s, RayKurzweil created a pattern-recognition software program that analyzed the works of classical composers, and then synthesized its own songs in similar styles. For this invention he was invited to appear on television, where he performed a piano piece that was composed by a computer he also had built. Later that year, he won first prize in the International Science Fair for the invention and was personally congratulated by President Lyndon B. Johnson during a White House ceremony." (paraphrased from Wikipedia)

Hi,
 
The Edition 10 sounds -> much better <- than the Edition 8.
 
You want a butterfly, or a piece of jet? I liked the jet, but the sound of the butterfly won me over.
 
 
|reality-check|, Just a sec... I don't even like full-size headphones, why? There's extraversal and intraversal, you can admire sound - surrounding you - or you can connect with it, inside of you.
 
How to inject it? You insert a driver into your ear canal, as deep as possible, my $26 JVCHAFXC51R is an esteemed dignitary in this sonic track and field.
 
You know why it costs $26?  Because 5 x 5 is a square, and 3 x 3 x 3 is a cube, 26, the only number in the universe juxtaposed between a square, and a cube... that's what the JVCHAFXC51R sonic landscape is like.
 
Space came from the void, humans evolved from the ocean,,, sound and music, from where? It's transcendental, like number theory - it exists disconnected from reality, reality is a mirror that reflects the transcendental.
 
This is where technology comes in, the mediator, the light that reflects unto the surface of the mirror.

26 dollars O: i finally found a pair of fxc51 and they were 50 dollars ( luckily i didnt buy it) anyways would defs get 1 if they were 26 dollars

A computer can take pictures of flowers, and then redivinate a new flower.
 
That doesn't make flowers a human invention.
 
 
A mathematician can't invent anything, only discover - but what is mathematics? It's transcendental, it existed before humans did, music is the same.
 
Music isn't filtered channels, or imperfect approximations, for every channel is unique to itself, like the number 1071, it's not an approximation of a pure number, it's 1071.

Transcendentals are indeed discovered through recollection. However music, as performance, is recreated through human action with variation. Numbers are not. It's like drawing a circle. The concept of "circle" exists apart from any one instance of a drawn circle. When a human draws a circle, it is an imperfect approximation of that eternal idea.

Thanks Maverick Ronin, what's a reflex dot?
 
Sometimes I try to listen to the drivers and not the music/stereo imaging, if the T50RP's create a true virtual sound that might explain why some people like them more than dynamic drivers? -shrug-

A reflex dot is a small hard surface placed directly behind the driver to reflect back a little more treble.  It requires experimentation with size and material to get the right frequencies without smearing treble detail.
 
I think my T50RP creates a more convincing sound field with forward projection and out of head imaging than the "mid-tier" open phones I've heard and much better than popular and high end closed 'phones I've heard like the W1000X, Denon Dx000 series, and the ED8.  The imaging isn't as precise as good IEMs though.
 
That does leave out some other closed 'phones I'd like hear like your T5P, the T70, R10, JVC DX1000, and the Stax 4070.  I don't have MuppetFace's collection of limited edition AT woodies though.  She's playing by different rules...
 
Also...
 

 
with this change of avatar all is well in the world again.
