If you were serious about sound you would...


If your audiophile quest is to get the best sound then buy the best equipment used to make the recordings originally. One of the few things nearly every audiophile agrees about is that you can't make the signal better than the original. So:

Solid State Logic 2 channels preamp 5k$
Meyer Sound Bluehorn powered speakers 2x 140K$
Pro Tools MTRX system 10k$
Mac Studio Computer 8k$
Total about 170k$ 
How is it possible to get better sound than the best recording studio gear?

You can make great recordings without state of the art electronics, rooms and monitors.  They can all be compensated for by the engineer.

@onhwy61 Or, indeed (works a lot better) by quality of musician. A good musician will start and finish a track without an interruption. Some studios have backing silled musicians that can outdo any celebrity you can think of and correct if those mishap on flight.

@donavabdear, mi compadre. I’ve set aside more precious hours during evenings these past couple of month’s fine tuning & dialing in thee JL Audio CR-1 and thought I’d provide / share my squeaky clean listening update … I’m lovin’ It!

 

Spending $170k on equipment is not worth it, if the listening room is not treated also.

@dabel So good to hear the CR-1 is very unique, I'm not sure even with digital switching and processing you can get the same outcome. Thanks for mentioning.
