I used to think about the competitive nature of my audio journey when I was young. At 71 I couldn’t care less. I enjoy what I have and do not think I need anything else except an upgraded streamer set up. Everyone who listens to my system walks always stunned which means only that I am on the right path but each ear is different. My system suits my ears perfectly. I enjoy many other systems I listen to. Less refined and less expensive to those that cost wise way out pace mine. That being said at the end of the day all that matters is do you enjoy what you have and does. It leave you feel fulfilled musically.
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?

From A’pax videos below, I see what t-lock sounds like. It seems much reverberation/resonance is removed. The soundstage seems shallow (no depth). Just my impression. Alex/WTA |
OK, here’s a thought for all those people who complain about the YT quality due to their compression and what not. Make a good video of your system and download it so that you can play it back as is. Then send it off to YT. Put both on your system and using near-field monitoring, listen back and forth and describe any differences you hear, and how bad is it..., really. |
If there are no pics/sound..., it didn't happen: This is the spectrum for the Heil without the reflector in place.
Here we add the reflector with the 1MM spacer. Knowing that the woofer has a very steep slope at ~3,500 Hz, what would you rather listen too?
Now we change out the 1MM spacers to 0.6MM. The problem with working with media this thin, you don't get a smooth edge. But, note how the frequency balance has shifted down just a hair. The real gains occur when you get <0.2MM, but this looks pretty darn good to me.
So, what kind of $$$ are we talking for such a shift, which is probably more than you would get from swapping cables? Maybe a couple cents.
