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 ;-)

Agreed. It is especially impression to people who are more than a little
weak when it comes to a technical education relating to audio, whether
formal or informal.
