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 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. |
@immatthewj i tend to agree with your approach more. |
I understand that it could appear so indeed ... I will just add for clarification , that no amount of acoustics will compensate for a bad cable limitations , nor the reverse the best cables and gear will not beat their room and replace acoustics ...But the improvement given with a top notch acoustic controls is huge and exceed almost all upgrade in % of S. Q. ... Even if not amount of acoustics will compensate for the improvement from a low cost amplifier to a top high end one ... Then the fact that most people are limited by their possibilities to transform a living room had no choice to improve by upgrading the gear dont create 2 schools of thought here ... It just reveal the limits of some and the better possibilities of others ... Acoustics rules at the end ... I wish you the best new year ever ...
