Words From the Wise

1. Invite attractive women to your house and play music they bring over. (very key)

2. Beverages (sorry I am a bartender)

3. Then repeat...

Spend a lot more than you can

It Only Looks as Good as it Sounds. Listen With Your Eyes Closed, No Peeking.

DOn't belive ANYTHING you read in "6-moons" or by any paid reviewers. Rely only on your own ears, never pay good money for any piece of new equipment without first auditioning the item. Research-Research-Research online posts by actual owners. Don't buy any audio item just out of curiosity to find out how it sounds. Don't assume a pretty face (panel) equates with superior sound. Buy items built like a tank to military specifications, for longevity. If you want something good then you have to BUILD IT YOURSELF.

To maximise your return from your existing system without additional expenditure. Try these-
1. Place all your gears on solid ground in direct contact with the floor.No carpet in between. If floor is not concrete/ marble/ tiles but wood may have to experiment with cone/ spikes. Avoid use of shelves whenever possible. This should improve the airiness/ high frequency response and overall transparency.
2. Room treatment- to wall on both sides of the speakers to avoid echo marring the sonic picture. To both corners of front wall as high as 8 ft with uneven surfaces. Experiment with different positions of the damper/ diffusers to adjust tonal balance for higher/ lower highs and fuller/ leaner lows.
3.Tilt the axis of speaker forward/ backward .Toe in /out. Away / nearer the side /front walls to enhance accuracy / warmth etc.
4. Clean all your components' electrical connections.
The above measures are nearly free and guarantee to give you a perceivable improvement.
Happy listening.
