It could be a possibility. Thank you for the link.
When it comes to ac management, ground conditioning, after market circuit breakers, replacing the light pole outside my house, calling florida power and light to come out to replace the transformer outside my house since it’s probably 10 years old, etc etc, i am the wrong guy for that. You are looking at the wrong person. That is a bit above my own OCD.
I am in agreement there are systems that kick my system’s ass from here to Hong Kong and back but let’s keep it real: how many systems are we talking about out of the bunch?
5%? 15%?
Also, sound is very subjective and when you get to the level where I am, you ACTUALLY feel that this is above what you have owned or in some cases what you have heard at shows.
I heard the Alexx 2-3 times before and i left feeling unimpressed and disappointed.
This pretty much proved to me that shows aren’t really for you to be impressed in any way shape or form. This doesn’t meant it is not possible to be impressed but nothing beats YOU doing it at home with your own electronics.
I personally feel i have the best sounding Alexx anywhere here in South Florida. Yes, from Tampa all the way down to key west and 90 miles south to Cuba.
Bleached vocals - i mean if what im hearing is bleached, I’m loving the sound and i might be trying to find a way for my room to smell like bleach too because I love the bleached sound I’m getting.
I am also in a tough spot here because I don’t have a single person near me that has a rig at the level of mine where I can go and listen and take notes and probably be schooled too.
I don’t live in TX, California, NY where there are a ton of serious Audiophiles.
No disrespect to my fellow Floridians but even local dealers and manufacturers have average systems in their own homes (some, not all)
You would think that an audio store owner or even the store manager would have a good rig? You would think that an audio manufacturer would have a reference system at home to test their products on? Nah... Not here in my neck of the woods. Average systems is what you’ll find in their homes. Think "Jay’s system" 8 years ago.
Even at my local audio stores, i have heard nothing that impressed me. NOTHING AT ALL.
I heard the WAMM, Chronosonic XVX and left ten min later. Why? System matching was poor (mainly tubes) as well as the sources and cables,
But I won’t blame the speakers either because I went through this with the ALEXX. I’ve learned way too much on my own (still have more to learn).
The next time I go to a show, I’ll have better ears and a much better reference point in order to gauge things better than when I went to AXPONA 2019.
I get it, i am being more vocal and public and have more exposure than before so I know this comes with the territory. The critics are a real thing and i when i don't listen to them or when i refuse to put their product on my floor, they get a little salty with me -although not all of them.
I've said it several times before, i get blocked from buying certain gear from some manufacturers (something you might know or not know about). Why does that happen?
BECAUSE I AM SHARING MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU ALL!!!
if i didn't post any of this or had a growing YouTube channel then I wouldn't have manufacturers trying to block me from buying anything. So yes, me sharing with you causes difficulties for me so MAYBE, just MAY BE, some of you might take that into account the next time you want to be abrasive with me.
