There is risk to buy a new set of audio components...Total value must be under 1000 bucks for the audio system ...Because my vintage system cost me 700 bucks and is a TOP AUDIOPHILE system... Not a cheap makeship...
What are the risk to buy an under 1000 bucks system with a guarrentie versus to buy something like my vintage pieces with the necessary update clean cost ?
Simple : with a system costing under 1000 bucks for the dac the amplifier and the speakers or the headphone you can be rest assured that the sound quality will be mediocre...
With my under 1000 bucks system i own a TOP audiophile system which deliver the best sound there is ...
How in the world one of the best amplifier in 1988 can be rival by a cheap one today ?
how the Mission Cyrus speakers the best speakers Mission designed in 1990 , payed peanuts , because old now, can be replaced by cheap box of today ?
The most evident case is my TOP of the wo4rld flagship AKG K340 paid 100 bucks... They rival almost anything today...
What are the risks you will advise someone to take ?
Buying an under 1000 bucks audio system with a mediocre sound quality , or buying at low price some of the best of the past , if you are able to inform yourself to begin with ?
I dont advise people able to pay for a 25,000 bucks system today to buy a vintage one at low price here, i advise people with not much money to INFORM themselves before buying as i did before informing myself when i bought HYPED NEW PRODUCTS AT LOW COST that were almost trash in sound quality..
If your budget is very limited , inform yourself, dont read reviews by reviewers but reviews by OWNERS... Read about acoustic .... Buy KINGS of the past... Not unknown vintage trash...Dont buy nowadays lost cost gear save if the technology is new as for dac , i bought a low cost very good contemporary dac not a vintage one guess why ? ... But amplifiers , speakers and headphones , this is an other story...Vintage gave the best S.Q. /price ratio... But you must know what you will buy and inform yourself...
