A moment when you realized better sound was possible.


In 2001 i bought a car with an upgraded JBL sound system. As the years went by I got used to that sound, and one day I was listening to a CD in the car, and when I got home brought the CD in to continue listening. The sound on my home system was flat, dull and dead sounding in comparison. That realization started my on a quest for better sound, and years and dozens of speaker/amp combinations later, my home system sounds much, much better.

I have external crossovers. I read on a forum (maybe this one) about how solid core wire sounds different than stranded. I went to the hardware store and grabbed some 20 gauge solid core doorbell wire and ran that between the crossover and the tweeters. This was eye opening for me because it proved to me that cables do in fact matter. 
Two more experiences further opened my mind: upgraded interconnects and a power cable for my amplifier. I began to realize that virtually every piece of the chain is in a sense a component, which sent me on a mission to tweak every last piece of my system to get the best sound possible out of it.
