@mahgister , almost everyone who posts here claims to be knowlegeable; however, quite often their opinions appear to me to be 180 degrees out from each other. Therefore, I will continue to refer to different schools of thought.
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
The last 20 years as an audiophile and now a dealer has taught me a very important lesson. Everything matters. The equipment can be great but no matter how much you spend the matching is very important. The cabling is also important. Some think cabling is all about making it sound better. I prefer my cabling to not get in the way. It’s like it can’t be a clogged faucet for your sound. Materials and shielding are very important. In addition to that the room is very important. You may not have a perfect room but you build your system to work in the room you have. I don’t have all the answers but you can’t just spend money and have a great system. Combination of equipment, cabling and room has gotten me there. I’ve tried a lot of gear and cables and this is how I feel. What are your thoughts everyone?

@jjss49 man I’m not trying to offend you or anyone. I just have read the responses. Based on the responses. I have strong opinion about how I see things after this discussion. I’m listening. But some of us can’t do jack about the room. I been doing this for a while now after reading the comments. It seemed like your room can fix everything and in my opinion it can’t. I don’t mean to come off as flippant. I just self sssured after listening to the answers and based on my personal experiences. |
@jjss49 my apologies if I come off a certain way. I enjoy having the conversation. I debate and argue for a living so please forgive me. |
@jjss49 I think this entire conversation has been great. There are two camps. Those that can work on their rooms that put really good work to maximize performance. Then there are those that will buy equipment that is less affected by the room that will still give them great sound despite them not doing anything to the room or being able too. I think both sides have been well represented in this debate. By several posters. I enjoy talking audio and listening to music. I wanna do it all day. |
