you can go to shopgoodwill.com and buy components worth 20 times the price on ebay. For a 1000 bucks you can build an incredible system.
And not just any brands but high end audiophile gear. Of course it takes time, and a bit of luck. But not much $
Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ?
Is there a minimal/optimal subjective and also objective threshold of minimal satisfaction ?
If so, many upgrade chasing may seems like a dog chasing his tail....😁
I just live through one of this upgrading event...
My system is very good, and when i tried to upgrade it , it was more a curiosity about the new amplifier than a real need...
But keep in mind that my system is 700 bucks for all components... My upgrade trying cost 1000 bucks...😁
Anyway i myself think that there is objective acoustic factors that define good sound, and when these factors are there on this threshold line , most upgrade are a change not always for the better not an improvement...
Am i alone who live throught this ? am i alone to be satisfied by under 1000 bucks system, headphone and speakers dac and amplifier included ?😁
For sure i listen alone... Many had wife and friends listening with them... This implicate costlier system able to accomodate a room , not headphone or small speakers for one in an acoustic corner for one ...
Anyway am i alone in acoustic bliss with under 1000 bucks system ?

Thanks for this useful advices to beginners ...grislybutter yyzsantabarbara
I will add, you must, once this is done, read enough about how to controls vibration/resonance , electrical noise floor of the gear/room/house and especially acoustics concepts not just room acoustic ... Without this applied even with high end components the S.Q. will never be optimal if not even good ... |
agreed @mahgister the system without basic understanding of these principles may as well be a JBL pill |
@jl35 ...It looks like they've accomplished their mission, i.e., Strategically hire a big name like AJones to make themselves known in the North American market.... They were practically unknown in NA prior to that. They've been selling an enormous amount of speakers to hometheater dudes in NA as well since he also designed matching center channels, atmos speakers, etc in addition to his hifi speakers. North America has always been the biggest market for hometheater due to larger size of houses, basement spaces, etc. Hifi guys buy 2 speakers...Home theater dudes buy 12! 😁
