my philosophy has 2 parts:

Buy what you can afford...

Study acoustics...

My deepest salutation brother...

 

So l totally believe in your logic of buying for ‘peanuts’……second hand can be the new ‘Go West young man’…..it’s the new affordable frontier.

My optimally well done system cost peanuts...

I cannot sell "acoustic knowledge" and cannot even give it in legacy...

I am not really an audiophile. I studied and experiment to learn how to make the best with any relatively good piece of gear...

I listen music right now and forgot my system ....

Listening Jay video i realize how much we are different...

He said that he enjoy visual cues because in the dim light music can become boring. He said that visual cue are more powerful than sound.

I prefer darkness.

Sounds may be less "attractive" in the first moment then visual cues but music and voices are way more powerful coming slowly more deeply inside us than any visual attractions.

Sounds wait for our attention to give meanings. Visuals cues impose themselves. We must decipher music with total attention or a voice in a way visual movie or scenery is all prepared like a ready to cook meal.

Music is the first way we communicate in the womb and the last perceptive meanings to disapear.

i never listened as Jay did all the time from upgrade to the next, the "performance" of my gear pieces. I used acoustic experiments and listening experiments for a long period to set the system/room right for my ears. I ought to learn how to do it and nobody teach that. I listen music now, it is done and i know how to do it. The system /room is not there as an obstacle or a limitation, because it is optimal (for price paid)

 

 

 

I am not worry about audiophile country population...

I dont give a damn...

But i like Jay as human...

Myself my system cost 1000 bucks speakers+ headphone and i am not envious one second about any Jay's gear pieces...

Acoustics rule...

I posted this because it is a reflection about a change in society...

i dont think we will think a lot about audio this year...
