How competitive are you with your system?


Do you try to rank your system with others’?    
Or are you content with enjoying your rig for what it is?

So, you’re asking me to change my system around because you want it to sound worse!  Better re-examine your priorities.

high fi·del·i·ty

/ˌhī fəˈdelədē/

noun

noun: high fidelity; modifier noun: high-fidelity

  1. the reproduction of sound with little distortion, giving a result very similar to the original.

High fidelity is my goal and it requires reproduction to produce an end result that is very similar to the original.  The original is best demonstrated on a direct transfer and not a recording at someone’s venue.

One can say, "It is the room" or "I am only using 5-1/2" woofers so what do you expect?" but then they cannot consider this as high fidelity because it is unlike the original and therefore a distortion.

If you want true "high fidelity" you need the equipment and the room to back it up.

 "I was just making an observation that it surprises me how my post engendered so many to answer."

I too am amazed how many Agonrs responded to your somewhat inane question. I'm not trying to add to the discord on this thread. So, oh forget it.

* We aren’t bashing each other here. We talk about different sound styles. 

I said all your audio systems sound veiled and mine doesn’t. All you asked before why non-a’philes don’t like this great hi-fi sound. The truth is they hear veiled hi-fi sounds correctly and we are using veils as immersive sounds.

You’ve been hearing veiled sound forever that you can’t hear my system correctly in 30 seconds. Your ears are too hardened with harsh sounds. Your ears and brain need some times to hear delicate true organic sounds.

At quick listen of un-natural sounds are splendid and stimulus. I know what happens to those sounds. Merry-go-round upgrade. They may sound good for short time but  no satisfaction.

Thiel - FINK is not live-recording. It’s dubbed. I can’t hear his room. Video is very veiled and I thought it’s live, but no. His dubbing mixer creates much glare.
