The two stages of audiophilia

Some people figure it out, and some don't.  :)

1. Buy the best gear you can afford...

2. Listen and create the necessary acoustic controls for the room to accomodate your speakers ...

There is no step 3 here...

Step 3 exist for obsessed gear people with no knowledge of acoustic....





You dont need the BEST gear in the world and you dont want it at all, because it cost way too much...
You need the optimal price /sound quality ratio for your money...

And guess what? your system could be nearer than anything else very high cost  that you could ever imagine...Thanks to acoustic science....

It is my experience.....

1. Compulsively and fanatically build the best audio system you are able to and can afford.

2. Sit back, listen to MUSIC and enjoy your system.  

3. Tweek

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 without end 

Acoustic controls and treatment are not "tweaks"....

Tweaks are secondary facultative additions to improve a system...

Acoustic treatment and controls are fundamental, not secondary, and exceed in potential positive improvement almost any gear upgrade even the speakers sometimes...

I spoke here only of the most important embeddings controls  the acoustical one.... It will help also using the other 2....

In 30 years I haven’t made it past step 1.  I may need a 12 step program to get out of step 1.
