Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?

eric... Discussing nonsense is not of any interest to me. Some folks love to posit drivel and then expect some counterargument. Not gonna happen. If you think what you wrote had merit, not my problem.z

That's funny, because you made a claim about an invalid inference, I gave you a chance to correct it and now you seem offended. Do as you will. 

Best,

Well I think you missed the point of my whole post. He had great equipment. He matched it perfectly with cables and component matching. He had an almost perfectly measured listening enviorment.  He had the makers come in and set it up. The recording quality of the music he was playing was excellent. He had the whole cottage built for the purpose of listening to the best equipment he could get his hands on and because of his all out assault Audio nirvana happened. Lol. Until you’ve heard it don’t comment. Honestly, I don’t think I will ever hear something that good again. He went to great lengths to set the whole thing up! 

That’s what’s possible. Get the best high end equipment. Match it properly. Put it in the right enviorment with the right recording and bam! 

The person who did this was a former dealer who knew he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. He made it his mission to put the best system and enviorment he could together. Price be damned. He had spent 20 years in the business and the hobby.  He knew what he was doing and he took me to the mythical Audio nirvana. RIP DAVE BASKIN! 

jetter,

What model is your refrigerator? And what vintage is wine? To make sure nobody complains about variables.

minorl,

Have you listened to 2017 and 2018 S560? I found Burmester in Coupe underwhelming. I mean, it is ok, but just ok. Given the pedigree, I expected to be impressed and I was not. It may have something to do with "the room" or anticipated clientele taste. Burmester in Cayenne is more lively, but way less neutral, at least to my ears. Of course, they are probably not the same electronics, but what happened to the "house sound"?


On the other hand, they are as good as Versa for listening to the news. Provided that Versa does have a radio.
