You don’t have to spend that much to get wa very good system. Like I said a very good sub is essential for electrónica. When you have the sub you can start saving for a used Revel Studio 2.
As a chill electronica listener, should I stop at a Med-Fi system?
Hi All,
As an electronica music listener of chill, downtempo, folk, and similar music, is there any point of me seeking an ultra high resolution system...DAC, cables, power conditioning..etc?
If its all about the source material, much of the music i listen to is not an orchestra or live band with lots of microphones, so I'm assuming there's not a ton of imaging and micro-detail going on.
Is there, then, any purpose to seeking equipment that can resolve all of those little details? Should i just stop at a healthy Mid-Fi System?

OMG, yes. I listen to that stuff all the time. If your system is good enough it plumbs the depths of bass… the high frequency is natural sounding and images incredibly well. But the biggest thing is musicality… the warmth of the beat draws you in and the ambience becomes ethereal. I am literally this moment listening to an electronic piece by Xande. I listen to most music types, I use acoustical music to calibrate my ears and mind to buy natural and musical equipment… which makes the electronics and ambient stuff sound simply incredible. With a truly great system elevator music sound compelling allowing a real emotional connection. |
@fai_v some people have system pages here in the forum. |
Some of the songs I use to show off my system are electronic. Bass, imaging, and soundstage can be incredible. If you heard Music Is The Drug by Bassnectar on my system, you’d want to take your system up a notch or two. I’m sure the same thing would happen with a lot of the music you like. I realize Bassnectar isn’t exactly chill. |
