Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?


I have heard a lot of opinions about high end gear on the forums but a lot of it comes from folks that don’t own it. They bash it because of the price. Which I understand on one end but many don’t own, haven’t long demoed or even heard a lot of higher end gear thoughts? Please no personal bashing just your opinion?

@tomic601 and @jafant we INFIGO will be partnering with Stenheim and Their Ref 2 or Ref 3at the Dallas Audio show in mid March . Should sound sublime. 

Yes…. like the Japanese acknowledgment of hearing you…. 

nothing you said, convinces me of most….

Pilium Integrated and Soulution 746 CD transport-very interesting combination.

Report back your findings. 2 months is a nice stretch in determining Method 4 and Method 6.

 

Happy Listening!

@tomic601 .....*S*, and you won't get a argument from self re @ghdprentice /Brian....always seems a gentleman... ;)

...and whether it's grain, sand, oats, or even cockleburs, I tend to tease a tad....*g*

AMT & Walsh fan that I am, I feel I've eliminated that sort of 'roughage' from my audio diet....dome tweets and piezo versions, however, are nearly absent in my local focal locus...and the remaining pair are part of a pair of speakers kept in midrange where they don't annoy....

We all have our foibles....and means of coping...

....and, for now, I'd rather wait for Sandy Paws....;)

Happy Pre-Christmas, y'all.... 

Being dealers didn't make us smarter. We just had a bigger toy box to play in. And, the opportunity the frolic a little longer before someone called a timeout. Sometimes we even got paid to play. Not a bad gig for 40+ years.
