HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?

I got into the audio insanity early, in High School. Worked during High School and college and bought the nicest system I could at the time that included KEF 104/2 speakers, Adcom and Denon components .  Held onto that system for 30+ years doing life stuff.  Now that I’m about to retire, and we sold our second home, I have spent the past two years feeding the audiophile habit researching, buying, selling to get to my 90% system (it’s never 100% in this hobby!).  It a fun, rewarding, frustrating and sometimes infuriating hobby, but there is nothing like listening to fabulous, high quality music while having your favorite cocktail in your comfortable listening recliner 😎

I finally got my dream system which is the world best sound system, but I am not happy. Why? Because it sounds bad and unlistenable. What? The world best sound and "unlistenable" don’t make sense.

The sound is a relative thing. Like all house wives, they don’t like your expensive and beautiful sound system. Why? because they are used real natural sounds only. They even love noisy music (but natural sound) at a local live-band cafe. To your wife, your un-natural audio sound (like a left speaker sound in below video) is worse than dog’s barking sound.          Compare natural and unnatural sound.

Like above, this is my situation.

Listen to my video at 2:30 (my voice).

Then listen to PINK at 4:10.

Then listen to my voice at 2:30.

Then listen Holy Cole at 5:40.

Listening Pink and Holy Cole (recorded w/ unnatural sound mics) hurts my ears. Yes. I can concentrate and listen those music like I did 10 years ago, but I have to almost destroy my brain, my eyes, my ears, my nose, and even my clean conscious too to hear them like before. You don’t know what those unnatural hi-fi sounds do to you. I don’t want to do that again. It’s a health hazard.

I’ll only listen my recordings until more natural sound recordings using my Wavetouch microphones are available. Alex / Wavetouch audio

I understand why you are hurted because the recording you used sound also atrocious on my system...

Your wavetouch is better in my system too ...

But none of my music sound unnatural anyway ...

I control the speakers/room relation with my acoustics devices...My speakers are also modified for the best...

Acoustics is key...

I own my dream system because my low cost system is optimized and it work at its best for my needs ...

As you are i am proud of my creativity...

You are right, bad sound is a health hazard...

@troutstreamnm thats what I’m talking about.  It’s fun.  Getting just right gives you additional purpose to chase and the listening sessions are amazing when you get it right. 

@mahgister thanks for the reply.  Man your journey is your journey.  Please enjoy.
