Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?

@nonoise did you finally get that Technics SU700M2.....? what ever it is?

I agree this thread is all pugnacious gas

 I'm so glad that I've been listening to my new integrated break in on it's first day than to read the drivel in this thread. You guys should get into some hobby, like audio.

By the way i try to not classify all people in a thread in the same bag...It is better to let bags empty and try to understand each other on INDIVIDUAL terms....

There is not ONLY " drivel in this thread", sorry....The only reason why someone can say this is because he does not know what a mirror was created for...Not to admire our own face but to look in our eyes what we cannot see in the eyes of others...The beam and the straw...

i have never see or read an entire thread constituted by dodderers or drools only.. there is different people NEVER only dodderers ...I prefer to speak to ONE individual and not declared all people in a thread only dodderers ....

The only dodderers are those who confuse their map with reality...

Listening to others perspective and discussing sincerely is important, discussing with pugnacious quality is OK if we treat each other well... ...

I apologize but i feel that i had to say that...

I'm just speculating, but is their a positive correlation between those who use and believe in audio tweaks and those who believe in vast worldwide conspiracies?  One rabbit hole is as good as the next, I guess?

I'm currently streaming an absolutely lovely performance of a Mendelssohn quintet performed by the l'Archibudelli String Ensemble. On Idagio. I haven't a care in the world.

First: i believe in Helmholtz acoustic method , even if i myself created my own tweaks also at NO COST...But my main acoustic grid devices are Helmholtz devices, PURE SCIENTIFIC DEVICE IN ACOUSTIC.... And like i already said all "tweaks" dont make a method even if they work and some work because i experiment them , BUT tweaks dont replace and will never replace proper  acoustic/psycho-acoustic science and acoustic  devices control  ... This is what i said if you read my posts...

Second: If you dont see many corporates worldwide conspiracies now behind "politics" you need help... Ask help from your children years school teacher it will be enough ... 😁😊Or buy books...

Third : putting people who advocate any "tweak" in the same bag with some alleged deluded conspirationist, this category exist for sure, is borderline trolling INSTEAD of thinking....

Is it clear?
