Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment.

Is it really possible to critically estimate tt or cartridge characteristics using for example cheap monitor speakers or other weak component in the system ?

I don’t use monitor speakers in any of my home three systems. Next coming upgrade I’m planning is NORDOST HEIMDALL power cable for my Modwright LS100 pream for my basement system.

So when I visited him last time he gave me a lot of his opinions, evaluations and reviews about several carts and tt…based on his listening sessions using pro equipment and $400 pro monitor speakers….the guy has about fifty different carts and two carts which I used to have at some point.. we tried to listen to those two carts and I realized that I shouldn’t take his advices and evaluations seriously. Of course I could get some characteristics but whole picture no way.

I’m totally agree on this one. No dogma exists in our hobby. At some point you just start to understand that you ready for your own concepts and whoever suggesting to you or gives you some strong opinions are basing on their own, probably weak experience and maybe even wrong understanding.

The system is kind a lost in it… i like it a lot and I’m shocked (in a pretty good way) :))). What kind of plants is that? Do you watering them yourself? What kind of water do you use? Tap water? Rain water?…. Do you fertilize that bushes?

Let’s live this topic to Darko and chakster :)… however I could tell you about other interesting stuff like beautiful women, swing jazz and surf rock, the game of tennis, rifles, handguns, boats, deep sea spearfishing, rare whiskey and old propaganda posters from around the world. I’m surprised why you still confused about what is non relevant equipment…. Isn’t it obvious that low quality cheap speakers for example is non relevant to evaluate components and make serious conclusions and suggestions to others about this components!?

I could remember the shame sound at concert of Pink Martini at Wolf Trap several years ago it was total disaster. However Depeche Mode concert was just glorious in sound.
