Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...

antigrunge2,
Sounds interesting.
Why don’t you try it and report your results....

A powerful and non technical musical test for your audio system :



Take a copy of Bruckner 9 th symphony, by Celibidache in my case, And listen to it attentively...

Do you perceive the intricate dynamical geometry between smoothness and intensity, punctuated by silence ?....Do you sense easily the difference between, the brass family, the wood instruments family and the strings family, their slow interpenetrating dances and complex successive motives transformations.... Do you SEE it?

If yes, it is because your system allow accurate timbre reproduction and 3-d imaging that help to perceive the dynamical interplays between musical motives in a 3 dimensions space out of the speakers....
If yes, your audio system is then able to give you an audiophile experience indeed....


If not, dont panic and especially DONT upgrade anything tomorrow...


Read my posts about the 3 embeddings dimensions and controls....


Any relatively good system must give to you what i describe while listening Bruckner....

By the way dont said to me that you dont like Bruckner.... Say instead i never perceived this beautiful dynamical geometry and i dont have a clue about what you speak about.... I will say to you that probably you had never perceived these beautiful motives because your system is badly embedded and dont help you at all.... You probably dont need any upgrade, just some minute attentive listening concentration time in setting your embeddings controls for the months to come and trust me it is fun....And rewarding....

And you are lucky because without clues it takes me few years to figure it out....I has  given  to you some creative ideas in this thread about the embeddings then it will takes you months and not years..... Be creative and enjoy without throwing money in illusions....


My best to all....

UPDATE:

My new device acoustical control:

2 "Golden Plates" + 9 Herkimer diamonds( mini sticks) on them, the copper side glued to the ceiling, between the speakers and my listening regular position, and connected to my " Bell of bells" wich is connected also to my my Schumann generators grid....

I never think that an improvement was possible from my last one but there is always place for improvement..... :)

Increase of S.Q. in all counts....Imaging is better and all the other qualities of sound....And that in my 2 listening positions, regular and nearfield....

I read in other thread many people complaining about useless costly "tweaks".... My device controls are my creation, cost peanuts, give an incremental increase in positive S.Q. each time....

No " tweak" can give more than a small increase on a count or on another, my device controls are not "tweak" they are not a singular device, they are the results of an ongoing set of listenings experiments and are mainly ALL linked together by copper cable....

I wrote in some thread that my actual audio system is unrecognizable and bear no resemblance with before and after my installation of my many device controls on the 3 embeddings...

Am i nut? Or is the crowd which passively consumes advertising never try anything of their own ? i will let you answer....

I was like that myself 7 years ago, but without money you create or you suffer with the frustration because you cannot afford the dreamed upgrade...I decided to create my own devices then....

Some even wrote that the only way is costly upgrade of electronic components...Sheep think indeed that the way to go is behind the last sheep....

What can i say?

Be creative and dont assume any opinion, except for precise technical point from specialist, not anythging more, because they will persuade you that it is nut or impossible by the book....

Do you think any acoustical engineer will try my unexplanable means to modify the acoustic of a room?

The truth is , hell no.... But i think even acoustical science is more complex than sellers of acoustical solutions think....

If i am nut i am happy like heaven resident with my music experience....

Be creative and inspire yourself with my crazy ideas..... You will have fun at peanut cost and a better, way better, audio experience, to the point like myself to smile about any future upgrade.....

When i started this thread, if you read my first post, you will know that i never intended this thread to be my personal diary about my audio journey...

I waited for others testimonies, but it seems that except for buying a new audio component, the only miracles were my own creations....

I must stay still and less vocal on all thread about my experience and experiments....I hate provocating negative reactions... But my journey is now too crazy to be believe anyway then...I would not believe my own thread if i was someone else , but being creative i will try some crazy ideas for sure.... I hope others will after reading me....

For my last control device, the 2 "golden plates" +9 H.D. on the ceiling, the audible effect is not subtle at all, but powerful, in regular and nearfield listening and remember that:





My device controls at the difference with a "tweak" are all cabled and connected one with another in a single grid....

This is the incremental steps ladder of my listenings experiments that guide me, one step at a time, to each addition of a connected ( by copper cable) new device....

"Tweaks" are secondary, costly sometimes, addition to an audio system... My device controls grid is not a secondary addition that add a little something to the S.Q.... My cabled grid of devices controls modify totally my audio system on a new level of S.Q.




My concept of the three embeddings controls comes from this ongoing listenings experiments experience....

The "golden plates" are the only device tough i use simultaneously in the electrical grid embedding control and in the acoustical embedding control...

Other many devices used are mention in this thread....

And the 2 only devices i bought new, i modified them, the cheap chinese Schumann generator grid, and the Nobsound chinese version of springs boxes....

I never envision to transform this thread in a personal journal, i hope that it was useful and fun for some....





A last remark:
Most people when they speak about their "marvellous " audio system boast about the basic electronic component they have bought: dac, speakers, amplifiers etc...

I own good component also but i discover that never mind the components, the embeddings controls ONLY are the key to audiophile top experience.... No audio component can reach his potential higher S.Q. anyway without these embeddings controls grids....Even one million dollars one....

Upgrading urges, before embedding rightfully what we have, result from advertisement myth and tactic and illusion...

These last remark is the reason for all my thread and rants against some general opinions.....




My best to all....
