Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to
Gents/Gals:
A general question on a “Total System” that YOU have heard at a buddies or acquaintance home. ( not a one night stand at audio show or retailer)
Is there a best system you have heard, that you consider darn near the best you can achieve ? Or just the best sounding home system that a friend has, and you have spent some wonderful time with ?
or Maybe yours ?
What kind of system was it ? Components, etc
Is there truly nirvana at a home

I do not currently have audiophile friends. Albert Porter was nice enough to have me at his home while I was still in college. He had Soundlabs at the time, but I was most struck by the sound of his Walker turntable over SACD, which was the thing then. The sound was enormous, extending beyond the walls one some recordings, and crystal clear with a touch of body and warmth. Very well balanced. I have heard Soundlabs since. While they are amongst the best, they have obvious limitations. All systems do. To that end I think nirvana can be obtained by most who put in the effort as beauty is in the eye of the beholder type thing. |
I am pretty humble, but I do think my system sounds pretty good. Best I've ever heard? No , but in my space it sounds great. My brother and his brother in law were over and my brother said, "show Will your system" I had him sit down and played a few tracks that he liked and a few that are great demos and he was blown away....he said it was the best he has heard in anyone's home. I'll take that compliment any day thank you |
