SSP Sound Pro sound signature

Stereophile used to have a disc showing how the recording hardware effected the sound. The reviewer spoke into a series of microphones, about 40 or so, and every 30 seconds or so they'd switch microphones. It was remarkable what a difference the hardware made on the sound. So what is "Absolute Sound"?

I don't care to hear the noise / distortion coming from the disco/club music mods people make with huge bass drivers and amps. Please don't share.

I do have an 18" Velodyne sub in the video room... it's for effects, not music. Are people listening to the soundtrack of "The Perfect Storm" in their Lucids ?




Example of Sterophile test cd

Ok it's all yenz fault for getting me started on the audio in the Lucid. I have a '22 GT with Dolby Pro and listen to Tidal ATMOS. I love it. I go out to the garage when the world is asleep and have my own dedicated listening room.

The other night I was listening to "Take a Pebble" by Emerson Lake and Palmer. Breathtaking ATMOS mix. Kieth Emerson entices you in, then Greg Lake's bass closes the door. Sublime. I wouldn't change a thing. (I love the sound of the brushes on the snare).

Then I was listening to "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. Just raw Rock and Roll. At this point I"m not even listening to details...dancing in my seat. Now I need to go for a Moonlight Drive

I just don't get why folk aren't overwhelmed by the premium audio in the Lucid.


kids these days, and their music and short hair ... sheesh!

I've owned LS50s before and I see where you're coming from but to me this is more like a Genelec sound. The system seems to try to replicate studio monitors, with accuracy as the priority rather than the punchy style that's more mainstream

I remember having a DVD of the Eagles (it may have been their Hell Freezes Over concert). It had a DTS audio-only track that was a high quality 5.1 mix of Seven Bridges Road that mixed the listener in the middle of the sound stage surrounded by the music.

I see there are some Atmos mixes of later concerts. I wonder if there's an Atmos recording of SBR like that?

I also had that DVD! My 2005 Cadillac STS had DTS Audio and speakers on top of the front seats. I loved to show the system off with that track!

Waiting on @Bunnylebowski response
