i dont understand some people logic.... They dream about 300,000 bucks turntable and amp with o.000000000000000 % distortion...😁 But they never spoke about the more important multiple ways acoustics parameters aspects of the system/room/ears are the FIRST and LAST factor that matter the most ... Gear branded names and price tags matter because they think the "plane" must be idolized as a god making sound as some tribes who paid the price for it to come back in their "room" .... 😊 |
@mahgister knowledge on how something works is not the same as using/enjoying it. Max Verstappen is not an expert in engineering but he is a multiple time Formula 1 Champion. What's wrong with someone 'outsourcing' the expertise in design and implementing a wonderful audio system? It's awesome you enjoy your system. Do you think they enjoy it any less because they don't understand the technical details that create the music they enjoy? |
It is not so simple division as that :
A trivial common place fact distinction is useless here . Sorry... 😁
it takes me 6 months at full time to understand how work the AKG K340 headphone hybrid complex design and modify it to reach ectasy ...understanding matter sorry ... Embeddings mechanical,electrical and acoustical controls devices are not gadgets we could buy only and in all case, we can and must make our own sometimes and they ask for basic understanding... ( i created my own shielding plate ) I modified my small speakers porthole because i understand Helmholtz resonators perhaps better than the Chinese designer who anyway had no choice because of cost selling them with no bundle of various tubes size, some 3 feet length behind the small speakers to improve them immensely as i did (50 hertz clear and no distortion with a 4 inches woofer ) ... 😊 I modified the not so well designed waveguide too ...
Here you misread my posts i admired any designer of High end as such... I did not admired people who use price tags for definition of audiophile experience ...
To enjoy any system we can read the price tag and call it job done and sleep with the music... my definition of enjoying imply basic acoustic knowledge and consciousness ... Why ? Because without it we cannot be conscious of the objective reason why we enjoy the S.Q. save for the price tag and others opinion about the gear... I need to understand what is "timbre" , transients, listener envelopment, sound source width, crosstalk negative impact, reverberation time, absorption and reflective ratios and diffusion effects , location of tuned resonators, and ionization and schumann generators impact etc etc etc ... I need to understand concretely with my ears the varying parameters i could control to increase my joy to reach full consciouness about the optimal experience with any design i can buy ... Buying upgrades is not my definition of audiophile hobby... Creativity+basic concrete knowledge of acoustics is ... Now i listen music a new hobby of mine satisfied with no frustration at all in spite of the limitations of my system which work optimally at his highest level this was make possible by my past hobby in acoustics...I did not need to buy 100,000 bucks of gear to reach minimal acoustic satisfaction threshold ... Trust me the maximal threshold cost a lot more ... 😊
