Testing your system


In testing your system, check whether the musical message is coming through rather than looking for sonic perfection.

 I find that is the key to fulfillment.

At some point in the search for 'audio Nirvanna', a well tuned system stops being a reproduction of a recording and becomes a musical performance in and of itself.

It's a balancing act. Musicality for the heart first but it has to please my ears too. Hence, for music lacking in recording quality, I use the loki max for digital sources and the Puffin for my secondary TT. My primary TT is the only source I can't equalize, because I don't need to. I only play top recordings there, about a third of my LPs. 

 

I've just recently got my system where I want it to be. It sounds great, but more importantly, it brings me joy.
