Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?


This is something that wanted to ask folks. Initially I said I would never spend x amount of dollars in this audio journey. 20 years later I’m here and did what I said I wouldn’t but I’m happier than ever. Best system to this date. But it wasn’t about money only. I gained knowledge on what was possible and the quality and design of the gear I wanted. I see people just throw money into audio and never be happy or satisfied. I think that happens because they don’t think for themselves as well as have the resources? Thoughts ?

We pay for experience in only two ways...

Money.... Some must buy and collect many pieces of gear to learn, it is fun if you can afford it...

I could not...

I paid by reading , experimenting and gave my only cash money : my time ....

I can assure you that a low cost system can make someone happy if he know what to do ...

It is more fun to learn and be creative than to purchase one piece each month...

Or to buy a costly piece each few years...

Nothing replace understanding not even money...

Some few here can afford the best money can give and be also creative and study and experiment ... But reading here for 8 years now i know it is the very few ...

most dream to upgrade at high cost ...

I listen music now...A lot of music...

 

 

Mmmm, by situation I've had to make the latter work harder later on; but have gained such that I can make the $'s work better when I opt to do so.

If I had more of the former, I could make better choices.

Not necessarily Super SOTA, mind you....just ones' that would scratch my particular 'itch' in their places... ;)
