a rant

after 30 years of being so enamored with stereo equipment - im ok now just listening to music

im no longer chasing - whenever i have bought new equipment it never sounded as good as i think the reviewer thinks it does. maybe 5% sounded really good and the other 95% - im still waiting for them to break in.

My fantastical brain wanted every piece of equipment to sound incredible. i think the key word is "chasing". 

See, now tube amplifiers are all the rage again - it was class d about 3 years ago - it was solid state about 6 months ago - whenever i have tubes - i want solid state, whenever i have solid state - then i want tubes - then ill try class d  in the meantime 

Im just saying - this hobby is the "space mountain" of roller coasters - ya think!

It all comes down to the sound you prefer.  If most of you ever were at a reviewers home and listened to their systems, some of you would laugh at this.  They don't have golden ears ad some of the rooms are, well, not any better than your living rooms.  Most of you still do not know what makes something sound the way it does so you chase different equipment.  If you actually took the time to figure out how sound is produced, you would not chase anything.

 

Happy Listening.
