Schumann Resonator

Would it be possible for you to send us a link to at least one of the YouTube 7 figure systems in action (the more, the sonically merrier) that were inferior to yours in some way (due to absent/insufficient room acoustics or otherwise), and ideally, videos/audio of your system playing the same music, so that the Agon community can corroborate your claims?

No... I dont want to provoke useless controversies and arguing that will not make any sense...

I think you misread my intention...

An anecdote is an anecdote not a proof especially not with youtube...

I will be clear: i only say that walking among examples of system on youtube i discovered to my amazement that i PREFERED mine.. This is an ANECDOTE.... Not a claim...

Now i must explain, i would have to explain for myself, this real surprizing experience for me by what?

My gear has certainly not the same potential that more refine costly gear...Then why?

I detected problem linked to acoustical room control and probably also to the 2 other embeddings mechanical and electrical about the systems i listen to on youtube...By the way go on youtube and listen to speakers working in a showroom more than half sound bad....The speakers are certainly good one...It does not take a genius to figure out why they sound bad....

You want to read my anecdote about the importance of acoustical control like a claim about the superiority of my system.... IT IS NOT...

Then dont give me a bait to throw further controversies about naming particular system...

I am not an idiot....

What is affirmed by me is this: The tuning and controlling of the working dimensions of a system is way more important than the price of the system and may cost very few dollars to install...

That is my claim... And this claim is for me TRUTH and experience....

My audio system is low cost and average but satisfied me on all counts not because the gear is extraordinary, but because the acoustic, mechancial aspect, and electrical grid are under minimal controls...

This is my POINT...I never pretended that my system is better than any other one in the absolute sense, i pretend to like it now more than many others , why? because of my embeddings experiments controls devices....

Helmhotz tubes and pipes cost NOTHING to try and this is pure acoustic science not anecdotes or even claims...Pure VERIFIED science....They cause an upgrade superior to many other possible gear upgrades... This is science not taste....

It is not then my system itself , it is the way we install ANY system which is important.... And your desire to create a controversy, by picking my lived anecdote to illustrate this uncontroversial fact , the importance of tuning a system with his room, is not to my taste nor in my intention...

It is not the price of the system, it is the controls of the working dimensions that are the KEY to audiophile experience...

Is it clear?

mahgister - it seems like English is a second language for you, so kudos.

But could you try writing more clearly? I am not talking spelling or conjunctions, just "universal grammar" and consistency and less ambiguity - stuff that is not culture and specific language-dependent, but simply requires clear thinking (in any language!).

It is extremely frustrating to read your hogwash at times.

Where should it or they be placed?

arcam88 - I have mine placed just above and behind and in between my speakers. About 7’ tall, a few inches behind, and several feet from each tall planar speaker.

I have also tried placing it above my electronic components, and behind and above my head at my listening position. I am getting a second soon, to experiment with one between the speakers (fixed) and moving the second one between components and my listening seat.

Not sure of the rationale for the 5’ minimum height, or where that came from. As if anything is truly rational with these SGs! Except the observing through listening part.

"Consumerism is what plague audiophile thread, and forbid the real question : How to improve the experience at low cost working with the controls of the embeddings dimensions of the system: mechanical, electrical and acoustical...."

...but, Hey...if you can make it expensive....*L*

What used to be a pursuit of the hobbyist yearning to hear music in their homes has become everything from the original intent to high cost items that rival the cost of 'big ticket' offerings such as cars.  And that over just one part of the whole system, that invoke the need to defend one's' choice in places such as AG....if one thinks they must do so.

One can buy a sabot, or a multi-million $ yacht....both will transport one across the water.  It all comes down to expectations and what one thinks is necessary to make the trip. ;)

Fly coach, first class, or rent the jet.  Buy the craft if you 'must'.

*g*  Nothing new about it....let me know if that changes, 'k?

(Engaging in deep irony on a rainy, lazy day....)

Best back to you, J
