Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused.
@kingharold Also here at AXPONA it is clear there is a world of BS that the marketeers feed to the people, some of the most expensive systems sounded horrible and it wasn't the rooms they were huge and sounded fine. There were million dollar syste...

@kingharold Ya know I think you're right, I do need to lighten up. I really got the wrong ideas about audiophiles I now think it's not about the search for the bet sound it simply a hobby like you said, there are so many obviously silly things aud...

So I'm about to register for AXPONA, I came here for only one reason to listen. Now everyone is saying you can't judge the system because of the bad acoustics of the listening rooms. @kota1 can find anything on the internet I don't need informatio...

@grislybutter I think great cars and great audio have a lot in common. It is interesting that a car will get you from a to b and a sound system will let you hear the music but we pay for the the magic in the design. I know I've driven my AMG-GTc m...

@kota1 unless AXPONA changes my mind I'm going to get the HiFi Rise to go with my new PS Audio DAC mk2.    I've never bought a piece of audio equipment of any kind because of a salesmen. Can't wait to see how my system stacks up to the ones at AX...

@grislybutter LOL I've had a few very nice conversations with 911 owners that will follow me into a grocery store and comment on my car. Great people who love performance and great design.

@mijostyn Perfect then, what is the objective formula to choose an amplifier that will work in getting the most potential out of a speaker? You call me insecure, nope I have nothing to prove to anyone. Let's hear it.

@grislybutter That's exactly what I'm saying, no one would buy a Lamborghini without knowing how the engine worked in the car, audiophiles buy the engine after they buy the car and cross their fingers how it will drive. I have a very nice sports c...

@dedobot Music is emotional but can you think of any other hobby that so much money is spent on guesses. At least in gambling you might get a payoff.  Manufactured are simply taking advantage of audiophiles, could be that the super cheep audio eq... 
What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo?
It's just like movies, you'll never learn anything about movies by watching the best movies ever made you'll learn a lot about movies by watching bad ones. Listen to poorly recorded music distortion that couldn't be fixed see if the speaker reprod... 
Thanks to Paul McGowan
I have all of PS Audio's BHK line and their top other components (except speakers) I listen to other systems and am really surprised how good mine sounds. I think the components are noisy but not after the music starts, it is a very upsetting trut... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
Depth can happen on a boom box no problem, it has nothing to do with the sound system it has to do with the way the music was recorded. I've done thousands. 2 mics over the conductors head will give lots of depth. Why do audiophiles assume that mu...

@kota1 Ill check out those guys at Axpona if there is anyone else you want info from I’d be happy to ask them for you.

@invalid concerts today are done with very sophisticated equipment Mr. Carver had no idea would come. Top equipment is now digital and networked, speakers are powered and designed for specific sections of the crowd with DSP on every speaker. The v... 
Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused.
Buying the biggest amp you can afford is like saying you should buy the biggest engine you can afford for driving. Some engines are huge and do a great job with low end power like tractors and earth movers, other engines do well at going fast, lik...
