Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It

@mihorn 

All speakers and audio systems in the world sound veiled and bright that includes $100k cd player, $million speakers, $100k power amp, $20k power cords, etc.

Agreed, that doesn't mean I don't like them, just not as much as live music. If I could have Norah Jones or Billy Joel at the piano in my living room or a CD you know which one I (but not everyone apparently) would choose. 

The sounds of surround receivers are not good and can't compete to the sound of a good stereo amp.

My Onkyo receiver sounds "good" but my Carver amp is in another league, agreed. BUT, the gap is getting narrower every year.

2 channel set up is easier to make smoother musical sound and better for long term listening music.

I can't disagree, you can see my desktop system and my home theater, no question my desktop system was easier and still sounds quite satisfying for casual listening.

I see your room, love your system. When I look at the pictures two things come to mind (for me, but you won’t likely agree), the big TV and speakers SCREAM "give me a center channel" and the ceiling screams acoustic cloud. However, that is me :).

Perfect, you will be very astounded...Read about Choueri , it is really a genius in audio...

For the headphone, you will not like it...

This is an old headphone, AKG K340 , he aged not well... And i make modifications to it...But you can buy it for peanuts then , dont be angry at me if you dont like it... 😁 For me it is my favorite...

And i did not like it so much the first day... It takes me 6 months to optimize it...

buy a contemporary headphone , a top one.... budget seems not for you a problem as it is for me... 😊

By the way i take a plunge, and buy the microzotl 2 as pre-amp for my Sansui AU 7700 to serve my headphone...

Kota1 buy the BACCH filters...

I will, but I want to buy the headphones first, can you give me a link? Thanks for the great info 👍

@mahgister 

OK, I'll get the filters then, do you have a link? Thanks

It is better if you read what it is first...

Read that and you could decide after ..

This discovery eclipse all other audio gear news...Because it is an application of fundamental acoustic , not a new  electrical gear design for a mere dac or multichannels etc ...

But very vew people spoke about it in audio forums...
