Warm tones...smooth midrange.
Relaxed, like a good single malt.
Like the singer/instrument is there.
Not clinical.

Boy; we are all stepping into this trap...audiospeak. A good single malt; thats darned good! As compared to say; Grey Goose or Jack D? Or Johnny Walker Blue? Ever try that vintage? Little too rich for my taste but I have sampled; 9.00$ a shot.
MaCallams is my fav. And Bushmills. Which I guess isn't a Scotch really.
Ever see how they make it? In those old barns dug in pits under the peat to age? They need a certain peat from a particular location for the fires too.
And they think we are obsessive...
Sorry I broke my own rule of staying on topic.

For me, it's the sound of Quad 22/II, Garrand 301, London Decca arm, Goodmans Axiette 8 alnicos left and right and an Axiom 12" center playing Clifford Curzon and the LSO. That's what I was listening to at the age of 8 and I've owned many many different combinations since but never been able to capture the emotional magic provided by that combination. Time has proven that, despite many advances in audio, there were a some companies that knew what they were doing back in the fifties and sixties. Vintage can = exceptional quality, not just nostalgia.
