A very weird question...trying to think of some analogy...uh...what if you kept buying faster cars until you exploded into space? Nicer houses until you owned the entire country of Monaco...by the way, regarding reference sound, I was recently at a ballet in Boston with whatever orchestra that is (Boston Ballet Orchestra?) and we were in the second row center with an empty seat in front of us. The musicians were in my face sort of, and I realized that based on the fact that every instrument is its own sound source in its own spot with complicated phase relationships with every other instrument and pit reflections (!) etc. before the sound hit my earballs...I was again struck my the fact that NO speaker system or any rig however precious can ever accurately recreate that sound. I listen to classical stuff in my fabulous (I even have one silver cable!) system and enjoy every minute, but man...the real thing is amazingly unique.
Monitors
Few people choose to use professional monitors and associated equipment for home hi fi. The reasons have been well debated before.
BUT Is it possible that upgrading an audiophile system relentlessly including such things as silver wiring can drive towards the slightly uncomfortable (in the home) monitor sound?

@wolf_garcia I completely agree. |
Now to my initial question. One ofen goes on improving the home system to give (for instance) better definition, impact, realism etc, etc. This seems a natural progression for audiophiles. ie heading towards everything that a monitor system has. Is it possible to inadvertantly end up with a system that has the quality of a monitor system that one was trying to avoid in the first place and is therefore less enjoyable. |
