The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change

milpai: Thank you for the condescending comment, and I fluently, write and speak more languages that you probably ever will. You sound like someone with many friends! Congratulations! Perhaps you should read an entire thread and understand the context before jumping to uneducated conclusions.

Thanks Firefly.Many are ashamed to admit that a stereo has them by the nuts and are powerless too stop.This is where I come in and get open and honest without fear of judgement.In my opinion this behavior has nothing to do with audio at all but an attempt to fill that empty hole inside.It never works it just isolates more from what most important.Materials can not do what love and helping others can.I suffer from this phenomenon and wanted to speak out hence starting my channel.Maybe some will not judge and take some and leave the rest as its pretty heavy what I talk about and it relates to audio as more of an obsession but at the end of the day it is to avoid self,escapism and only progresses.Trauma is a very powerful thing and many will go to great lengths by repeating the same thing to avoid facing it.I have come to these conclusions for myself.Some are relating too it and chiming in on my channel now.It is great to try my best to help others as it helps me

Acoustic knowledge and basic mechanical and electrical controls and synergy gave me an ectasy that never ended two times... Each time with low cost system...

Then i think there is many people that has a hole to fill as said daveyboy..

If not this case they dont lack money and they dont takes the time to learn..

I never experienced a good system well embedded with a boring sound, then unable to make music acoustically immersive...

I am flabbergasted by the fact that all aspects of hearing and interpreting sound quality with all concepts and the control parameters linked to them exist in many acoustics science article...

Timbre is very precisely described for example...

Then we dont need to buy a piece of gear so called " high end " to know what a better timbre experience is.

We pick a basic synergetical audio system to begin with and we play by experiments with the many parameters between system and room and ears in their three working dimensions...

i know what is Immersiveness conceptually and by experience for example not because i bought a very costly high end system as THE solution , but because i learned how to create immersiveness with all the possible varied parameters i can control and play with . I called the balance necessary between all acoustics parameters to reach Immersiveness : the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold...

A high end system in a dedicated room will do better with an improved immersiveness for sure than my low cost one. But trust me we can live with minimal immersiveness. i call that ectasy everyday..

😊

Hearing must be LEARNED...Not by purchase but by experiments , acoustic concepts had no relation with branded name of gear or even details of design.

i am one of the rare person here who spoke about methods not about specific gear piece as a solution ...

Guess why ?

Gear dont matter much in acoustics if they gave a minimal quality necessary to begin with our study...
