Is it either/or or both/and?
Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker.
So my wife made this observation after I spent a couple hours fiddle farting with cables, connections and speaker placements. She said is this hobby/obsession your desire for audio excellence, or just you like tinkering with stuff, tweaking your system and feeding your OCD?
She said you try this and try that and guess what it all sound the same to me. She really knows me and my OCD.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Very good question indeed ...
--Without a method it is very often an OCD motivated oscillation between the research of good sound and the fun of tinkering and the appeal to false solutions (costly cables ) or premature or badly oriented upgrades ......
--With a method the tinkering begun to be organized and end with the chosen components ,which cost the owner is able to afford, when the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold is reached and all working dimensions are under relative control ...
An upgrade on a completely new level is possible then but not sometimes seen as necessary because system well embedded punch higher than we think ... When we are immersed ( and immersive is an acoustic concept with a specific content ) in the soundfield we dont think upgrade even if it is always possible to go higher ... ( minimal acoustic satisfaction threshold is not a stopgap at all by the way because between each component working optimally there is a coherence between each acoustic factors in quality that is impossible in non well embedded system this is optimal synergy for some design quality level ) Just my 2 cents and own experience ... |

I do not doubt your dedication and own cautiousness at all ...Your questions is only a good occasion to think about the essentials ... My post are only for newbies here to think about a possible "method" ...
