HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?

I never said anything against those who spend big money and know how to do it...

And there is many of them here...

For example ghdprentice or mike lavigne and others ...

Read my posts in their context thread and answering some specific other posts...

If you think that what i said is directed  to you personally then there is nothing i can do ...

Many knows that price tag had no direct relation to good sound ... There is many other factors...

If my description fit you too much i am sorry but it was not adressed to you but to beginners because they must learn that all audiophiles dont have costly gear and they must know the truth about what to do BEFORE giving too much way too soon in their journey ... And they must learn that this hobby is about music and acoustics and learnings and experiments more than about the higher possible expanse and so called upgrades ...

By the way you are wrong.... There is not two path: one expansive and the other low cost... There is ONE PATH: acoustics science and embeddings controls of mechanical and electrical and acoustical for ANY SYSTEM AT ANY PRICE ....

It is you because you felt to be wrongly my target that confuse thing... Not me ...

Pass over my posts if you dont like them...Beginners need to hear another voice that dont enumerate branded name of always costlier piece of gear to buy ...I am not against enumerating the possible pieces of costly gear and their qualities... it is useful ... But my insistance on acoustics for example instead of gear upgrade is useful too ...

By the way i am one of the rare to claim that audiophile level experience is possible at ANY COST in a minimal way for sure if we learn what to do ... I never pretended that my lost cost speakers beat the best there is over them ...I pretend that they are transformed by the way i used them as any speakers at any price can be ...

Read this thread and others and you will read people bragging without end about gear piece they just purchase ...

I prefer to say other things which are forgotten if you gave me the permission for sure......😊

my best to you ...

While I have enjoyed several of your posts, this constant put down of those who choose to follow a different path than the one you walk down, is getting very long in the tooth, and frankly, a bit insulting. So throw me a bone and in the future, begin and end your posts with IMHO, as that is all it is, and your are entitled to it.

Cheers

mostly I gloss…. but every now and then a hint of of gem might emerge…like @magister actually knows Stax existed…

@ozzy please stay off my thread this isn’t about infigo. I’m trying to find out about systems as well as music. I will not post on your threads moving forward. I was an audiophile before infigo and will be one after.

@bigtwin i started with a 1500 system. Def tech. I moved up the ladder of my last 20 years. Sometimes swapping out things month to month. Over the years I learned more. I heard better systems. I went from def tech, to b&w, Sonus Faber, Vienna Acoustics, revel, to Gato. I went from classe, mark levinson, EAR, Esoteric, Veloce, Kr Audio, Soulution now the to the company I work for which is INFIGO AUDIO. Learning more each time I moved up in price. Sometimes it wasn’t just about money. I realized what I listened to and what equipment performed best. Now my system is 50 times retail of what I started with but I’m in a good spot now and will probably keep what I have for a long time. I learned more about soundstage, depth, detail, transparency, low noise floors etc. It’s not always about money. We grow in this hobby. As we get older we know more and sometimes have more money to spend. My Gato speaker for instance retails at 14k. I have not found anything better to my ear unless it was 2 to 3 times the price for my room, system and listening habits. Synergy is also important. We all learn and spend in this hobby based mostly on our ears. Just enjoy as much as you can. If you ann afford it try it and enjoy. If not get the best you can afford and use what you know to maximize what you have. I do get tired of those thinking that the guys who spend a lot on audio are a bunch of inexperienced delusional audiophiles. Most of us got the resources because we were smart enough to create the income to do this. If you don’t spend a lot enjoy your system. But don’t judge this of us who do spend a lot. Cheers everyone.

@phishhhhh4 imheard the vadersteen treo at a local shop. I actually enjoyed them and I loved the design. How long have you had them.
