    Some will say it belongs under microdetail (plankton), but I wonder

    Great, another point to argue about, lol.

    Are you referring to how smooth a frequency response is, how would you define it?

    Hum, good question on a robust definition. I would say it's the detail of the small changes in tonality, most obvious in the vocal region and with instruments like the violin.

    So basically a matter of timbre but on a much finer scale? Something something tone colours.

    I notice it most when going from main rig to something well below, like the Bose Q35 I use for exercise - little changes in tonality go missing along of course with everything else

    Perhaps it's timbre, though I might have a more "romantic" (for want of a better word) definition of timbre that includes the sense of "inner body" and the like.

    Like how you can sense a different intent depending on minute changes in vocal inflection or how someone presses a piano key? Mm, I think I get where you're coming from but that seems to fall under microdetail with competencies in time domain stuff (i.e. doesn't get muddled). Could be wrong though, not sure if that's what you're after.

    an instrument has a fixed tone over a given range. I think you mean subtle inflections and intonations of the performer which reveal more of this tonality. this is already what resolution and microdetail mean to me anyway

    Instruments definitely don't have fixed tone.

    A voice in use, or a violin being played, often changes subtly moment to moment excepting perhaps an exercise. Just throwing this out there to see if it sticks. I admit that the concept might not be a useful distinction beyond microdetail, but I think it might...

    I think you’re describing texture. The key components to its reproduction being resolution and tactility.

    @SSL curb ur microtonal microaggressions

    Wait for the Gadget to be released and we'll all be talking about fractional tonalities.

    Continental measuring system or imperial measuring system? If you actually have to measure by hand, that is key. After that we can gather data, process it and chart it to sell the audio industry new standards while listening to Koss PortaPros.

    That video was clear and too the point. Thanks! It is the small changes in pitch that I hear *better* they higher up I go into fidelity.
