Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided

@dabel 

cool!

Do you know when a choir sing with each voices distincts and a piano fill the room?

You cannot judge if your system is the better of the world , there is no line there which you will use to decide where are the distances between your actual system and the better in the world...

But when no frequences is under or over the top boosted or deflated by the pressures zones created in your room you will hear it...

because the timbre of any instrument will be better...

And even the best system could do no more than filling the room with a sound out of the speakers...

And you will be amazed by the difference between before and after mechanical, electrical and acoustical controls..

And you will take any upgrade suggestion with a grain of salt...

You will not own the best system in the world but only one working at his optimal...

And any relatively good audio system working at his optimal is already Hi-FI or almost...

 

 

 

FIRST LEVEL : all cd sound almost the same...

This was the case on my first stero system, a wood block with speakers incrusted in that...I had 13 years old...I was listening music not sound anyway...

 

 

 

SECOND LEVEL: Some cd are really better way better recorded and appear so in your system compared to others unlistenable or very bad.... There exist three categories: good ordinary and bad....This appear so in any audio system which is very very good system but not completely well embed in the three working dimensions , mechanical, electrical and acoustical... This is where many if not most audiophiles are...i was listening good albums mainly and orientated toward sounds not only music ...At this level we search for good sound and good acoustically recorded album...Music comes after these  good sound requirements...

 

 

 

THIRD LEVEL: These is NO MORE ONLY 3 categories : good ordinary and badly recorded....

Here you will access with the same audio system IF well embedded especially acoustically, you will access to all SPECIFIC acoustic features of all RECORDING albums, so much so that even so called bad recordings will appear less bad than interestings because you will perceive the acoustic choices and trade-off of the recording engineer at this third level...

Each album will be interesting and not so much classified in good or bad, but MOSTLY classified "interesting" and UNIQUE because of such and such ... And the voice or instrumental playing timbre micro-dynamic will be here to listen...

Paradoxically being able to listen to all acoustic details in each album choices, will lead you to forgot sounds and access ONLY to music the specific way the music is presented in this album ... There are plenty of albums that appears good like in second level but not always the same albums exactly because there are others very good albums unrecognized or underestimated at the second level...

But anyway ALL ALBUMS would be somically interesting and particularly some bad recorded one because you could perceive now all recording choices and not only their negative limitations but also their inner acoustic positive secret....

Then you will know that you are there...

I dont give a dam of the price of your system...

Mine is under 500 bucks...
