members and their systems

I have friends with much, much more expensive systems and yes, their systems sound good but only "different"-- not "better" than mine-- to my ears. Spending a lot of cash is no guarantee of ending up with a system that pleases you.

Very good remarks...

Most people think that this is money which give S.Q.

Up to a limit yes...

But at any price it is acoustic control of the room the greatest luxury...

My 500 bucks system is one of the best there is for his ratio S.Q. /price, thanks to basic psychoacoustic laws....

To answer the original question. I have 3 systems,

Good story....

My best to you and respects...

Audiophile experience, i dont pretend to the best audiophile experience in the world tough, please read me with your intelligence, i only claim that a relatively good Audiophile experience may cost peanuts....

And cost peanuts for me....

I called my virtual system page " audiophile experience for the poor"

Dont be fooled by the old photos you will see, it is "nuttier" now; but dont be fooled by the images, the S.Q. is the best i ever listen to at any cost.... Not the best system in the world but the best for me.... Understand me rightly please....I dont boast about my gear, i instead promote cheap homemade embeddings controls for ANY gear at ANY price...


Most people dont know what their system will sound like in a controlled mechanical embeddings, nor with a lower electrical noise floor and ESPECIALLY with a passive AND ACTIVE room controls....They CANNOT figure out trust me....It is impossible save if you lived it through...And dont search for an article review about this experience in audio magazine.... They sell costly upgrades addition...At best costly bass traps or diffusive surfaces....

Dont be fooled by my room/laboratory, for 500 bucks paid for all my system, i smile listening with comparison to any system... Not because my system is better... He is good but not better and even less good than most pictures i see on Audiogon.... But there is an ABYSS between well embedded and not well embedded...An ABYSS....Not a small difference....

You will not read what i just wrote in audio magazine....

Guess why?

Electronic design is mature for the last 50 years, it is easy to pick some pieces at good price; But it is less easy to figure out how to implement working embeddings controls, embeddings controls are called "tweaks", secondary addition to the system bordering on snake oil for most people....This is a proof of complete ignorance of audio for me....

It is the opposite which is true, give me any good gear i will transform it..... the gear is ALMOST secondary, the ACOUSTIC is primary especially ACTIVE acoustic control not only necessary passive materials treatment.... I laught at people comparing costly dac in non acoustically controlled room....How in the hell can they know how they really sound? Some compared costly pieces of gear in minimally controlled room.... Guest what is the result? harshness, unnatural timbre which is easy to listen to even through my own system....

Why in the hell no audio review explain it very loud?


Guess why?

The more powerful effect in audio is the " pricing" placebo....Read me with intelligence i know perfectly well that many costly amplifier may be better than my Sansui..... But costly upgrade are NOT the solution..... The consumers conditioning with costly upgrade is the problem.... Thank God! i trusted only me ears from the beginning and with them figure out cheap solutions....I spared much money and much despair.....I did not wanted to die without listening music with a good sound... It is done.... 

Most people dont figure for themselves that it is MAINLY acoustic that make a system great, at any cost....

Then with a low cost system, rightfully acoustically controlled, you will listen music for the first time in your life with a really great sound, filling the room, and you will forget about costly upgrades...It is my experience...

But if you cannot fix the acoustic, nothing will sound great really, and you will chase your tail... After some years and richer, you will boast here about how your 100,000 dollars system sound great and " perhaps" better than mine if the room is acceptable one...

But mine is really good and i dont give a damn about 100,000 bucks system, especially in a non controlled room....

This is the only thing i learned reading audio threads and trying to create my own paradise...

I dont boast about my average system, it is an average good one only, i spoke about acoustic, mechanical and electrical noise floor controls...

Audiophile experience did right could cost peanuts.....

Basic elementary science cost nothing, ignorance could be costly.... I am not so intelligent tough i would had taken the same road if could have take it , i just dont had the money to make the same error which is made by most: upgrading....The only thing i could do few years ago very frustrated, it is thinking about it and how to make it at no cost full time....

Never mind the sound, life is sad without music; but Gosh! how music is greater with a good sound....That was my obsession... Generally i am very patient, some problems are in my head for 40 years....Perhaps i will never solve them.... Audio was more easy....

Think acoustic......

My best to all....
