Rate these on order of importance:


In getting the best sound what, in general terms, what is the order of importance among the following items?

1. The room (treatments, size, etc.)
2. The power (conditioning, power, power cords)
3. The connections(cables, etc.)
4. The source (analog, digital, etc.)
5. The speakers (including subs)

Thanks, this should be interesting.

Whatever happened to the music? Or is equipment and acoustics more important?
Well Nrchy, the first time I heard Jimi hendrix (my favorite) it was on some cheap midi-set, with a worn-out needle, and the record was even worse..... Still, now owning a bit different system, I never re-captured the magic of that moment. So if I had to choose between some million-dollar equipment without music or an old walkman with flimsy headphones but with a lot of tapes.... well, for me looking at a pile of equipment ain't enough (although I have to admit that it ads a lot to the pleasure of listening!).
And tried to play every note, and found out I'm was not born to be a guitar-hero.... Yeah, I suppose you're right. I just spend more money on music then on equipment, so to me focussing on the gear is not that interesting anymore. Hey, would that mean I've got a perfect system, since I don't want to change? Or am I just getting lazy? Hmmmm....
As for sex: it;s getting better every time.......
