SteelerFan Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 While reading reviews I've run across these terms: "dry", "chalky" and "whitish" when describing the sound of certain components. What do you think the author means when using each one of these? "Warm", "bright"and "crisp" I'm familiar with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yromj Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm curious about this myself. It sounds more like a review of Milk of Magnesia than a piece of audio gear. Where did you read this? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddvj Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 ---------------- There's no telling what he meant! ---------------- Exactly. Half the people writing reviews don't know what the hell they're talking about, so they just make sh!t up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple I specifically remember are a widescreenreview.com review of the B&K Ref50. The author said it had a "chalky" and "whitish" sound. I think he used the word "dry" when talking about the B7K 200.7 amp. I also read a review of the Adcom GTP-880 on theperfectvision.com and that author said it was a little "white" thru the analog input. I think he may have meant bright in that instance. If he did I don't know why he wouldn't just say bright. Guess when one is paid to review things and write about it they feel they have to make it a complicated as possible. Kind of like movie critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
