Have you "lied" to yourself?


It is time for the utmost honesty. How many of you have made a fairly costly upgrade/purchase and weren't able to hear any difference (even if you struggled, it wasn't very obvious), but convinced yourself the difference was there (to avoid feeling embarrassed/taken, or facing that you don't have "golden ears")?

There's no need to mention the brand/manufacturer, but do mention the type of component as it would be interesting to see whether this type of thing happens more often with preamps, amps, cables, or sources (I doubt it ever happens with speakers).

I'll start. I'm guilty of spending about $600 upgrading speaker my cables and couldn't hear much of a difference.

A bunch of tweaks is not a method of experimental listenings...

Buying a ready made tweak push you to some border between It works and it works not so great.....Because you buy a ready made product without knowing with your active listening what you are doing... Create your own devices, it is very simple and fun....Rewarding...

When you enter in a systematic experimental listenings journey, you explore and walk toward someplace that is coming toward you with each small step....There is no doubt in your mind because you are not interrogating yourself staying immobile after one singular step....

You dont need to lie anymore to yourself about the alleged reality of a particular tweak or step, because you create your own road in walking...

Dont buy if not necessary, think first,listen after, and create your own step one at a time, i call my road: rightful embeddings controls.....

My motto is: dont upgrade something before everything was rightfully embed... 



You can lie to yourself with more money, and think that money can buy the best audio in the world.... It is not true, only creativity at last can buy the best there is at a lower cost most of the times.... Try your own creativity....
