" Comparison is the Thief of Joy "
I have shared this numerous times on this forum over the past few years.
One can spend oodles of hours fretting over what they have not got, the trudge to discover where one needs to go next is a heavy residual at ones feet and is not going to yield any worthwhile results if other factors are not addressed.
Our Hobby is about Entertainment, Enjoyment, as a result of Musical Encounters.
Musical Encounter is the End Sound, everything Upstream of Produced End Sound is not Sound it is electrical energy being managed.
End Sound is the conversion of the electrical energy, where the energy manifests as a unconstrained release of the energy into a Space which forms Sound.
The Space the Released Energy is Interfacing with, has a substantial influence and does a lot for shaping the Audible Experience of being exposed to the Audio Systems produced End Sound.
There is not an Upstream Device that is going to have any influence on the Space the Energy is released into, Up Stream Devices do not Remodel Space.
How does comparing Audio Devices in a particular Space have any real influence on the End Sound produced in that Space.
Remodeling the Space the End Sound is being heard in, will do more for changing ones perception of the Quality of the Sound, than any Audio Device change ever will.
Only then might one be able to really give accurate assessments to changes made within a system.
