I wonder how much audio equipment Jasonbourne52 has? Most people would think the same thing of you.

@ps, If you don't know what you want/need, then ask someone who does- like a good dealer like John Rutan (Audioconnection), because he does know. And, I say this as one who never trusted a dealer until Johnny. bob |
Ok, perhaps. For some music. Sitting...7th row center? Further up? Back? Ok, we can just rough it out. Dark Side of the Moon and everything else multi-tracked, mixed, tweaked, etc. -- live music is not a guide. Electronic music, made with synthesizers, computers, etc.? Live is not a guide.

Agree. Has his room changed in that time? Have speakers, DACs, other things changed? Has his preferences changed during his auditions? What keeps his compass pointed at the north star and his variables stable? Or is this more of a kind of performance -- something like one would see at a carnival. "Watch the spinning plates, kids." |
Classic audiophile dilemma is assembling: the most accurate audio system with very high sensitivity money can buy OR an audio system musical and forgiving with modest sensitivity Now some may argue one can have the cake and eat the cake. That depends on your software. If your software is all high quality LPs, CDs, etc,. then perhaps you can put together the best system money can buy with very high sensitivity, yet also musical. However, for an old geek like me who still listen to music from very old mono recordings, cassettes, LPs, CDs, from 1930's onward, cranking up sensitivity comes with a price.
So I tend to favor audio components mostly forgiving yet musical. I may sacrifice sensitivity to get there. Only exception is my speakers, Thiel 3.6s which I will not say very forgiving! But I get to enjoy >90% of my software this way.
