After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.

quite by accident I stumbled on one of the best possible acoustical spaces… well, actually that my dealer has ever heard (he installs many +$200 K systems), so has more experience than I. Just luck.

it is easy to get off on the wrong foot and head down a dead end. You can see them all over this site, denying the sound quality of great designs, high quality components, high end wires, or thinking that measurements are everything.

Those who are not quite so fortunate as your good self often do some quite substantial research and not rely on luck.

I think that there is a non sequitur somewhere in that sermon.  As a scientist, you'd know that.

 As I always told my customers, if you love it, it is the best system there is!

... it really doesn't matter WHAT you have as long as it delights you every time you listen.

Such a shame that bricks and mortar audiophile shops are becoming passe.
