Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
I have heard a lot of opinions about high end gear on the forums but a lot of it comes from folks that don’t own it. They bash it because of the price. Which I understand on one end but many don’t own, haven’t long demoed or even heard a lot of higher end gear thoughts? Please no personal bashing just your opinion?
One should listen Youtube videos of live recordings before demo any audio equipment. All audio equipment are unnatural sound and human ears trick us always. That’s why even seasoned audiophiles can’t be confident about an audio sound and they keep change gears after many decades of their audio journey. The microphone can’t lie. If A system sounds better than B system in YT, A system sounds better in real life. One should choose a favorite sound equipment in YT and demo it. Alex/WTA |
@mikelavigne :"the high end is not gear, it’s a state of mind" Word. "Easily the best sentence.. explaining post to go with it I ever read in audiogon..." I agree completely with @mahgister on Mike Lavigne's post. |
