RE: N core

Well, I disagree on both points.
I think "boring" might have a different meaning to many listeners....and certainly depending upon the context.
AND when all recordings are exhibiting a particular trait, that's NOT boring....Something is wrong.

This is a perfect example of how the "language" of audio subjective evaluation has become so vague and meaningless.

If we're going to hang our hat on this type of language, we have to live with the pesky questions that come with it.

Example, and one you might appreciate: A guy returned one of my Apogee active crossovers many years ago and told me it didn't have any "jump." I told him on the phone it's not supposed to have "jump." Silence on the other end.
I sent that same crossover on to another fella with Diva's and he replied "it's very dynamic, I haven't heard my Diva's exhibit that amount of dynamics, ever."

It's very tricky to make conclusions based on insufficient information.
