tvad, your system is lovely, and I am sure your system does all of that for you. But for my needs, my tastes, my expectations, many pieces of your system would not do it for me, and I know many that are in my camp. My best and always, enjoy. MrD.
The Horror
After getting back home from “The Show” in Costa Mesa, California this past weekend, I walked over to my stereo system and turned it on. And silently wept. I had held out a feint hope that my cross-over modified 1.7i Maggies and mighty Parasound A21+, fed from a Prima Luna 300 tube preamplifier could somehow manage a slight shimmer of resemblance to the robust setups I witnessed at the SHOW. Not—- on— your —-life. Not even close. I slumped into my over-stuffed couch and stared long and hard at the thing I created: an anemic concoction of false hopes and wishful thinking. The horror, the truth: entry into serious audiophile listening begins with purchase of speakers that cost the price of the car I had to finance for 4 years, closely followed with the added expense of beefy sophisticated electronics and wiring, not a gaggle of cheap wanna-be plastic and tweeks. I so wanted to belong, but that’s turned out to be just a fever dream I’ve got to wake up from. Maybe one day, if ever I have the nerve to rob a bank, find Jimmy Hoffa, or survive a head-on collision from a sleepy Amazon driver, I might make it. Maybe. Feel free to play the violin with two fingers.

@tvad I know many of your components and have heard systems as yours. It is all about the individual listener, and my intent was not to hurt your feelings. I am so so sorry, with sugar on top. BTW, you might not enjoy my system either, but my system is for my pleasure, as your system is for your pleasure. End of story. So, let’s just leave it at that. Full stop. My best always, MrD. |

@tvad , you are so high strung, with mine is bigger than yours. Wake up a bit. Specifically, I would not be happy with your loudspeakers, and I am not a fan of tube power amps, any tube power amps. Neither do what I want. Are we clear. ymmv. You think I am alone, and you think I am BS. That is fine. I stick to my original comments, before you jumped all over me. Enjoy ! MrD. |
