@ghdprentice man I’m blessed. I work for Infigo Audio now. A brand I believe in and makes up my system. It has allowed me to have this high level system and hours and hours of listening joy. Doing this is fun not real work.
Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?
This is something that wanted to ask folks. Initially I said I would never spend x amount of dollars in this audio journey. 20 years later I’m here and did what I said I wouldn’t but I’m happier than ever. Best system to this date. But it wasn’t about money only. I gained knowledge on what was possible and the quality and design of the gear I wanted. I see people just throw money into audio and never be happy or satisfied. I think that happens because they don’t think for themselves as well as have the resources? Thoughts ?

I believe I was seriously restricting my opportunities to build a good sounding audio system, when I was a stut myself away in a room listener to music produced from a dedicated audio system. As good as 20 + years ago this changed. I chose to be much more interactive and social in audio related activities. It is the social activity that introduced me to mentors, fellow enthusiasts showed to me systems I was in awe of, I learnt of the dream that some very respected individuals had designs for in their own set ups. I am not upset with decisions made in the Company of others, they have proved to be economical and very very attractive for their meeting my needs. |
The fact that there is better gear than mine dont means that my optimized gear system cannot give me the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold.... When you get this MINIMUM acoustic qualities level you forgot sound so immersive music is... If you cannot get it with a relatively low cost system , it is either a bad synergetical choice of gear pieces or it is a lack in the mechanical,electrical and acoustical workings controls... I dont need to learn to be happy with my low cost system BECAUSE it is well chosen well embedded system under my control, then my system makes me happy and then it is not a stopgap i am in the obligation to live with... No frustration in me , on the opposite , i pity many who give away more money for not really better sound... And trust me they were numerous...My system value is 1000 bucks... Knowledge is key not price tag... Better gear is not the key, but knowing how to use any system at any price at his optimal level is... Acoustics dont change his principles, nor the mechanical and electrical science because we upgrade a piece of gear...Any piece of gear must be optimized at any price... No speakers beat their room and they all suffer from resonance ... No amplifiers can replace the electrical grid of the house...No interconnect can work without picking interferences ... Etc Then adress that BEFORE upgrading ...And call that the key....

@skinzy i agree with you. I’m now at that point. Can I get better maybe but at what cost. I got synergy because of all my electronics gear and cabling are from the same company. Built on eliminating noise and providing clean musical power and music performance. I have a great speaker that I researched extensively before I bought. I even saw what other things the designer did before I bought them. Gato in Denmark. I’m happy. Infigo electronics and cables. Gato Speakers. Rel subwoofers. Happy! |
