How competitive are you with your system?

@carlos269   this is the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlOhiTpZCek

And another even older vid..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRNfxQRTduA

My old system sounded a lot better in real life than these videos portrayed.

I think your system sounds very close to the original music. The original music has thick veils already that your videos sound some veils too. In fact, both your systems sound more musical/romantic than original music. Nice!  Alex/WTA

The proof is in the pudding Carlos. I’m confident my system will outperform yours because unlike you I WAS ‘in the room’ ( to misquote Hamilton) and as you know that extends to an invite to you to come listen. Enough of the pissing contest. Talk is cheap 

I have nothing of any great value to add, as I do not own much as an audio equipment that is able to understood unless having the Direct Experience of it in use.

My TT is a SP10 MkII mounted in a Panzerholz Pinth but has had a overhaul of the Platter Bearing Assembly and has had a Bespoke Speed Control added.

An additional SP10 MkII is also in use but is a Variant of a Kaneta Design and is also using a Panzerholz Plinth/Chassis.

The Tonearm is a Bespoke Design

The Cartridge is a rebuilt Ortofon using Upper Echelon Ortofon Parts and Parts from other Producers not selected by Ortofon.

All Phonostages in SS - SS/Valve Hybrid - Valve Input Output are Bespoke Designs, with Vintage Selected Valves from the 1960’s era.

The DAC is a one of a Kind Bespoke Build adorned with 1960’s era Valves. 

The Pre Amp’ to be commission built is under design. It is unique and will be Bespoke as a Model, it will most likely be adorned with 1940’s / 50’s era Valves already purchased .

The Power Amps are commission Built Bespoke Designs of which the Monoblocks were built solely for myself and the most recent purchase is a commission build done for another. A selection of Driver Valves are from the 1950’s era.

The selection of Speakers kept for use are in keeping with the above.

It becomes difficult to describe what is being created as an End Sound within the Space used for the system, experiencing is the only real way to share the systems attraction.

Spending Energy to try and convince an individual of the attraction that is on offer, is going to be an uphill trudge, if met with other energies as a response, suggesting the assessment being shared is a subjective inaccuracy. Defending ones place when experience is the only key to fully comprehend is wasteful of energy and sapping up valuable time.   

As I have said in my earlier post, often what happens to audiophiles and their precious audio systems is the child analogy, “my kid is smarter than your kid”. You can see that evolve here quite clearly. If you enjoy your equipment and system is all the comparison (noise and distortion) really necessary. From my point of view, it looks childish. If competition is good? Then why all the fighting back and forth?
