If you have completed the journey to perfection in a year you have certainly done so much faster that I was able to so do. I complete that same journey two +/- time a year until I play a recording or two that sound terrible and I then renew my interest in improving. For me at least this has been a hobby that continually inspires me to try something new for a greater return. I think half of the fun of this or any other hobby is continuing to try to improve what we have. I shudder when I think about how much money I have spent seeking perfection and the best I have done is I may have gotten a little closer to perfection. The manufacturers also try and in some cases do convince us that the finish line has again been moved.
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
So many audiophiles have commented that when your room treatment is completed, your electronics set up and tweaked and most importantly, your speakers are set up in your listening space correctly that you'll know it because everything just sounds so "right" and natural. I just accomplished that feat in the last two weeks. I say two weeks because I needed to play a wide variety of recordings to be sure that I'm there. It is so great to have finally hit just the right set up.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that it has taken me well over a year of experimentation to get to this point. It's not that other placements yielded poor quality sound its just that now everything sounds like a live event (as much as any of our systems can).
I would really appreciate hearing about your journey to the promised land of audiophile/music lover bliss. How long did it take, what were the most difficult aspects of the journey? And if you have yet to get there, what do you think is the "brick in your wall"?
