Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)


Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. 😊

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... 😎

@mahgister ,,,,*G*elbow nudge*

Well, I suspected you were not alone...looking upforum. definitely not. ;)

And...I'm happy to admonish that if you're delusional (or merely 'tripping'). you've got a 'fellow traveler' (or 'trip sitter') only as far as a keyboard and screen.... ;)

@p05129 ....gently, sir....I was admonished OUAT that a small dogs' bite can be just as painful as that of a larger one....

....and strangers can be more of a surprise that you expected. 🤔

I've a sneaking suspicion that many who populate A'gon would prefer...nay, Strive for 'better', if not beyond rationality and the agonized squeaks of a credcard....

There are no 'audio clubs' in my locale....I've looked about...one that was 4 hr. away doesn't seem to exist anymore, and I've better and more to attend to than punching my means through combat traffic to listen to Macs in a for-sh*t space where acoustics was ignored 'cuz the SO wanted the room to feature the furniture v. the audio qualities....

Surprised?  Oh, F no...

Mahg's thoughts and commentary is muzic to my mind , if not ears....

Yes, one can achieve the 'suburban' levels of Nirvana without Xcess,,,,yep, pun intended, and you should have heard it coming.....

My 'pile' of this, that, and th; other would likely not impress. Few have seen it, less heard it, esp. 'philes with zilch interest at darkening my door.  They're welcome, wine, brew (AVL has more than you will EVER imbibe without making  the local PD happy to DWI you or worse...), or 'other', which You should supply.,,,

NC still is in an idiot state.....mho.....longer story than I'll subject y'all to....

...*sigh* Miserable acoustics....I can cope.

DIY Walsh drivers that the few that have heard....prefer...

I don't claim perfection.

It doesn't exist.

Dollars be damned.

Make self happy, bottom line.

Nothing else matters.

 

I believe far too many people worry about what others think about their equipment.  Who cares? Does it sound good to YOU?  Do YOU enjoy it? If so, enjoy it then. Goof around with it hear and there looking for improvements if you wish always making sure it's YOU  who likes the results.  Sure, ask questions and learn but just please yourself and that should suffice. 

At the end of the day, whether you spent $1000 or $100,000 on your system, they are boxes of wires. I don’t think of them as important in the large scheme of my life. Find contentment and happiness with your audio and music, but more significantly find contentment and happiness in your life.

"And BTW, who is this Jay guy you are referring to?"

@yogiboy I think he must be referring to a reviewer on YT who posts videos as Jay's Iyagi. For example:

 

Someone who was certain they were satisfied might not be tempted to ask this question.
