Welcome @bob70
Man, I miss the days when I drove an American jalopy - stereo was a Pioneer in-dash with Jensen 6x9s under the package deck - some of the best days of my life!
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
It seems like when I see comments on high end gear there is a lot of negativity. I have been an audiophile for the last 20 years. Honestly, if you know how to choose gear and match gear a lot of the high end gear is just better. When it comes to price people can charge what they want for what they create. If you don’t want it. Don’t pay for it. Look if you are blessed to afford the best bear and you can get it. It can be very sonically pleasing. Then do it. Now if you are also smart and knowledgeable you can get high end sound at mid-fi prices then do it. It’s the beauty of our our hobby. To build a system that competes with the better more expensive sounding systems out there. THOUGHTS?

@jacobsdad2000 hey yes is I am both. But I’m an audiophile first. I ask the question as an audiophile. I been an audiophile longer than I been both. I’ve been blessed to do well in my career. I enjoy helping clients find their way as audiophiles too. I say this because I listen to my rig daily. Brings me a smile. Spent years getting to this point. It’s not just an expensive system. It’s one that I took my time researching, tweaking and carefully choosing the gear in it. Based on the knowledge I learned for years. I only became a dealer because I truly believe in the designer and the product. If I didn’t I would just do what I been doing. Just being an audiophile. Take care my friend. |
Thanks for the nods and welcomes! It's been a while since I've participated in a forum. I'm looking forward to sharing some thoughts and laughs.
BTW, if your first car-stereo wasn't an 8-track, attached to a hanging bracket that was bolted onto the underside of your metal dashboard (ALL metal, called a "Chicklets maker"), rejoice (!), as you may not be old yet. Mine was a '64 Belair, which some of us know could accommodate up to 8 teens.. |
