@inna If I’m not mistaken, we are talking about 100k and up and later on we lowered the standard from 50k and up to the sky. So where are you on this scale? We’d like to hear from you - the guy with over 6671 posts. Please, tell us about the great sound you have.
For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
Do you think, in retrospect, that you could have gotten better sound quality out of your sound system with much less money spend. Do you have any regrets for spending huge amount of $$$? If you can start all over again, what would be different this time around? Let’s talk about electronics only and not room improvement for now. I know they go together, but the subject becomes very broad - assume your room is near perfect for sound reproduction.
P.S. Mike Levine, please don't shy away from the subject.

@nonoise You'r one cleaver SG. For some reason, I like your short sentence. Thank you. |
@blisshifi blisshifi I’m glad that you’re able to learn from good and bad purchases - don’t we all do? However, if you don’t mind me asking how many varieties of speakers, amps, pre, source electronics, analogue and digital one can purchase over the years in order to acquire the necessary knowledge and understanding of evaluating good sound? Unless one buys used equipment and hopefuly dos’t loose money in the process. In addition, how many of the multi millions of electronics produced today will qualified down the road as timeless and legendary 30 or so years later? In my estimate (not scientific) every decade there are about dozen top notch pieces of equipment which become extremely desirable and even increase dramatically in value overtime. So, my question is: what is the chance today that one will walk into the store and buy the right equipment not only for financial sake but learning experience as well.? One cannot learn well from just any purchase or even a few. Moreover, one cannot learn much, unless he/she stays with the system for a long period of time. A/B comparisons, or hi-fi shows and often visits to the store or someones house is very limited experience but not of tremendous value - not much to learn in a such a way. P.S. I did’t know rich audiophiles are shy to comment or perhaps they don’t have the time (that’s why they are rich on the first place) or perhaps they don’t want to bother with mediocracy, or perhaps they are not many rich audiophiles out there? If this is the case let’s lower the bar to only $50k and up. |
@sns @blisshifi @z32kerber Bravo! Thank you for sharing your gratifying journey with us. That’s what I call dedication. You are perfect example of "blue collar audiophiles" - yes, it is a compliment. My hat’s off to you. |
@wfowenmd That's a good one.....pass my info to your wife - it's going to be an easy sell. |
