Contrary to what so-called audio person Krueger has claimed, there is nothing
mysterious or metaphysical about terms such as "microdynamics". The term is
generally understood by most audio hobbyists and audio writers doing reviews.
Just as macrodynamics refer to relatively gross and easily heard differences
between the loudest and softest passages in a piece of music, microdynamics
refer to relatively small differences in level between passages of music in
which volume differences from note to note are harder to discern.

Ahhh.... the 'twiddly little bits' to a pro-audio engineer.

Somehow it seems to me that distinguishing 'macrodynamics' and 'microdynamics' from
just plain dynamics resembles an unhealthy fixation with navel examination.

I guess it makes for good copy when writing a review though, since you can spin it
out a bit ;-)
