I also use Stillpoints under my source.

Under speakers and a subwoofer they also have great results. |
hahahahahaha.....very funny! |
Good story Adrian, I also use Furutech for electricity from the wall input.
But the Oyaide M1/F1 are superior to the FI50/51 wich I also owned.
As a perfectionist only the best counts. I love to test and compare. When there is a new reference I will but it.
Í am addicted to music and sound. This is why I love to test and create a higher endresult in sound. This proces never stops. I love it till dead!! |
With Audyssey they way we work we can outperfrom any stereo amp. Stereo without our way of measuring is inferior.
I could not hear to stereo without it. Even the highend sets of 300.000 dollar irritates me directly.
It has to do with timing. Old school audio is difficult to create a stunning sound without any limitation.
I work by Tru-Fi. These are 8 parameters you judge sound for. With old school audio is is a lot more difficult to get all those 8 parts you judge Tru-Fi for.
I have proven that I even can outperform the Marantz PM11S3 in stereo mode with an Onkyo TX-NR3010 with S.A.P. measurement.
It only can be achieved with my knowledge. For customers this is fully useless. |
I have proven that I can create a much higher endresult out of any system regardsless money. This counts only for my clients. I can think and work in properties. Because I work by Tru-Fi. All other people work by Trial and Error. This means you are only able to listen to the endresult and do changements on this. This is a very ineffective way of doing audio. I do this since I was 6 years old. This is not my work, but a part of who I am as a person. I can outperform any company in audio in the world at any level. First of all I have a photographic memory in sound. You cannot copy this. This is what you need to work by Tru-Fi. And second I can hear patterns in sound and I understand why the sound and stage is what you hear. I also work with the best lasers in the world. No floor or wall is fully straight. Beside this the acoustics always will influence the sound the most. That is why I did hundreds of tests in acoustics in about 6 years of time. https://www.facebook.com/bobby.kingma/media_set?set=a.10156554423700083.1073741937.588405082&typ...https://www.facebook.com/bobby.kingma/media_set?set=a.10156573228780083.1073741942.588405082&typ...goodluck |
Most things you can’t even see. I only show a few things. There are many important things we do we never will make any photos of it.
We will try to do something with it. Because I have proven many times that I do not have any competition. I make progress sometimes every week.
It is my goal to become the best in sound&vison in the world. I will proof it by sound. Because the best and most convincing sound always will win.
This outperforms any other quality in sound. Because it owns so mcuh more emotion and details.
I met a person who is a marketing specialist, he will sell my knowledge. This way I can give many people in the world a much higher level of sound.
I can educate people so it will be available for more people. This is still one of my goals.But I will not give it away for free.
I even think I can bring live music soon to a much higher level as well. I did some test what showed that I can use it in many situations.
In surround I can outperform very easily anything what is on the market. We also have plans to bring cinemas to a higher level as well. Because my way of measuring is superior to the Audyssey way.
I can see 3-4 steps further ( deeper) in sound than other people can. I see patterns most people don’t hear. Audio is for me often very easy to understand. What is difficult for me is that other people who work in audio are like children in audio.
When I am at a show, shop or new client the list of mistakes is always big. For me it is simple like one and one is two which mistakes they make.
These days I even work at half mm. precision. And no there is no other person who comes even close. Because in everything I do I want to do it 100 times better than the best one does.
This is how I was born. In clothes it is the same. I have it in my head. My clothes are made in italy by hand based on how I see it in my head. Perfectionism is in your system. It guides you to a level most people not even can think of.
Soon I will be in the US as well. Many overhere thought I was making a joke. But I will be there and proof it by sound.
Then there is no person anymore who can deny it. Sound is all about the truth. That is why my sound is Tru-Fi! |
This is not my area, I have a marketing person for it now.
The fact is that the difference in sound quality is on each part you judge sound for galaxies away.
We are now discussing how we will sell it. In about 2 months our website will be ready. This will be a totally different approach in sound&vision.
I can promise you that it is a new an higher level what is available at this moment. We also will start making a videoblog about sound&vision.
I do capture all data of each set I sell. For many years I photographed everything I did.
It is my goal to bring many people as possible to a new and much higher level in sound and realism.
Audio by trial and error only can give people a very limited level in sound quality. Based on trial and error you always will miss essential parts in sound for the absolute sound.
|
The best sound in audio wil be chosen by each person. When you work by Tru-Fi, you are able to create a much higher level in emotion.
We are emotional human beings, we prefer the sound what creates the most emotional feeling.
Tru-Fi is how music sounds in real. There are so many things what influence the sound before it reaches your speakers.
When you test each part of a set after time you will understand how you can improve it. And how limitations in sound can be solved.
When you visit an audio shos in most situations the results are limited. They always blame the room. I don't have this problem anymore. This gives a huge advantage over any other company.
Even the companies who create acoustic pannels work by absorbing frequencies. This means less information.
With S.A.P. you solve the acoustic limitations but you will keep much more details and information of the music and movies you play.
Shootouts against highend pre amps like the Pass labs XP-20 and Audioresearch Ref 5SE showed how much informattion they loose in the low, mid and high frequencies.
These differences are huge and unacceptable!! |
I visited several people with highend sets who also spend a lot of money on acoustic pannels. They still were not satisfied and still had a lot of acoustic limitations.
S.A.P. is first of all much more effective. Beside this is is a lot cheaper. Many acoustic pannels are not the best looking. Maybe they are a lot better looking than 10 years ago. But they are still not that pretty.
Beside the acoustics there are so many parts where you loose quality. At the end people are only able to get a very low % out of the capability of a speaker.
The knowledge in acoustics is very poor for most people who work in audio. The same you see about electricity and smog. I work togheter with companies who are speciallized in these things.
I did a lot of research and testing with different tools regarding electricity and also smog. And you create a lot of improvement in these areas even for low prices.
We also do a lot of modifications to amps and sources and again the improvements are huge for reasonable prices. You are not able to create a higher level by spending the same amounts on new speakers, amps, sources or cables.
I still love to test and always looking for new improvements. As a perfectionist you are only interested in creating the best results for the lowest prices.
We want to create improvements for the best prices. So we can give all our clients the maximum for their money.
The biggest limitation in audio is trial and error. Each set created by trial and error tested by Tru-Fi is always incomplete. And I can explain to these people what is missing. And I never heard any one to dissagree.
Tru-Fi works by parameters you judge sound for. It has nothing to do with taste. But is based on essential parts which need to be there for the absolute sound.
That is why I want audio/highend to work by parameters. Because now audio is a free world with a lot of bullshit and it is based on nothing.
|
I will try to explain each part.
S.A.P. creates so much more precision what is never possible with 'old school' audio.
The acoustic influences each set. Most sets are used in a living room. I have proven that the way I measure you get a much better timing in the low freq. Beside it is more controlled you will hear more layers.
The precision of a subwoofer reaches a new and much higher level of integration. When you play a cello you can feel the energy in the middle.
When we compare stereo with and without a subwoofer, the resulls are superior when we use a subwoofer. Without it we go to a lower level in sound.
The diversity in the middle freq. are much bigger. You can easily hear more different information in voices during listening.
You can hear the vibration in voices. When we auditioned the same music with the Pass Labs XP-20 and Audioresearch Ref 5SE, the diversity of the vibration was gone.
Even breathing and moving lips could be heard with the S.A.P. measuement. With highend pre amps these details were gone.
We were using one of the best cables in the world ( Audioquest Wel Signature latest version 2 sets and 4 pieces of Purist Audio Limited Edition powercables) for the different pre amps.
When you collect a system based on properties, you are able to use more different properties in each set. It make each set more complete and more attractive.
S.A.P. brings the physical appearance of voices and instruments to a much higher level of realism.
Each system I audition I can directly explain what is missing. Working by Tru-Fi makes it very easy to understand what is missing.
I use different songs to test each part of Tru-Fi. I use them to explain it to other people. You want to make it as easy as possible to understand it for each person.
When I ask people who work in audio for many years as I do the simple question?
Which properties do you take out and which do you put in when you change this speaker for this speaker?
They all gave the same answer: we don't know.
So I said: then you are not aware why the sound and stage is what we hear now?
They said: I think you are right.
So I said; it is not important if I am right, you need to understand that the way you build
an audio system is based on loose sand.
This way audio always will be a big guess. That is why al sets I audition are incomplete. They always miss different parts of Tru-Fi.
|
You need to make it as easy as possible. I sell by shootout. And Stillpoints are sold by shootout as well.
It is very easy to let people hear the differences between the old situation and the new situation with Stillpoints.
Will they be a succes in every situation?
No that is why you need to test it first. In most situations they make a clear improvement.
Audio needs to be open and transparent as possible. So monitoring is essential in each part you test and compare.
Innovation and testing is the most fun part in audio. These days we have much more tools to use. And yessss most tools are useless.
That is why we test all the time to find those products who are the best. In my world audio depends not on brands but on the quality it owns at the moment we live.
When later another product will be better, this will become the new standard. I don't care about a name, I care more about the quality.
Different Stllpoints have proven in many situations how effective they are. And this is what matters most. |
The thing is that you cannot copy me. I can explain this very easily.
When you are not able to think and work in properties, you will never understand why the sound and stage is what you hear.
Each part in your set including the acoustics influences the stage and sound what comes out of your speakers.
It even does not make sense to use the same brands and stuff I use. In the past I have many examples for this. When I left a company, it stopped selling Platinum loudspeakers.
It is the way how I use all the parts. This is information I will never explain. I use many new products and I use them all a special way.
I have proven that I can create about 300% more quality than other companies for exactly the same money.
You cannot copy my brains and insight. It is important to see the patterns in each room and situation. It will be different based on the room and also the components.
The biggest limitation in audio is that by far the most products are 2 dimensional. This means their d.n.a. is not able to create more than 1 metre of depth.
The d.n.a. alway will be the limitation. This cannot be changed. This is why over 99% of all the sets in the world are 2D.
We only sell and create 3D sound. S.A.P. is an importnt part for our quality and sound. But without understanding the d.n.a. of each part in a set it is a lot less effective.
The older Onkyo is the only stuff I know for normal prices what is able to create depth. You will go higher in prices to find it in other brands.
When you judge speakers on stage depth and width you will hear that most speakers are 2 dimensional. This means they are only able to create more than 1 metre of depth maximum.
When you want a 3D stage, you need an amp, source, speakers and even cables who are good in creating it. Each part of your set needs to own the d.n.a. of creating a deep and wide stage.
When you are not able to think and work by Tru-Fi you will not understand the d.n.a. of each part in your set. So you need me! |
I did run an audio shop from 2007-2009. I had a nice and big room for demos. I always had a 2 dimensional system playing and also a 3 dimensional system.
This gave me the perfect information how men and women react on 2D vs 3D. They all choose for 3D sound. This made me decide never to sell any kind of 2 dimensional sound anymore.
In the lasy 7 years I brought many people from 2D to 3D sound. And their reactions and they way they use their sets says it all.
They often use the word; addictive and they all used their set so much more than ever before.
Beside the physical 3 dimensional stage I spend a lot of time in creating more diversity in the middle frequencies. This is the most important part during listening to music. People can experience the most different emotions in this part.
When you work by Tru-Fi, you focus on emotion. Because each part of Tru-Fi influences our emotion.
I am addicted to music. I spend many hours listening to new music each week. I buy a lot of new music each month.
Hi-Res recordings bring music to a higher level of realism. I am a Lumin dealer. And my S1 gives me music at the highest level you can experience.
We also will modify Lumin networkplayers. We always go to the max. We want to improve sound each week. I am addicted to music and sound since I was a child.
New systems, higher level of audio components and higher level of recordings creates new levels in sound quality.
Togheter they give us the options to create a new statement in sound. |
I believe when S.A.P. will be used all over the world, audio will get to a much higher level. Because you loose so much quality based on the acoustics
You can spend a lot of money on audio, it still doesn’t make sence.
To be honest I don’t believe in stereo and surround without S.A.P. Because you go back to an inferior level of quality. You always will be limited by faults.
Another example: I have spoken to many people who have spend a lot of money on audio for a very long period of time ( some even over 30 years of time) and still were hoping to find the sound they were looking for.
Any kind of 2D sound will never be attractive for any human being. Because the distance between you and the music is too big for the level of emotion you need and would like to have.
This is why people sell there stuff or look for a new part in their set to get a better sound. When you go from 2D to 3D you are pulled into the music.
It brings you closer to the music. This makes it a lot more emotional and involving. This is why these people use their set so much more often and also for a longer period at the same time.
Music and movies as well is all about emotion. That is why you need to experience them with all the emotion the music or movie owns.
|
It depends in which price league you are looking.
The funny thing is that they delete my post when I tell the truth. The truth in audio is rather hard. Audiogon lives by advertising. I understand that, they don’t want you to write things what will be negative about some brands.
I don’t believe in any 2 dimensional audio. But most brands are 2 dimensional. These are facts, and they count most. This is something I cannot change.
I have talked to many people who told me that they always were looking for the sound they hoped to find. And when I talked to these people I found out that all the sets they owned were 2 dimensional.
It is a fact that any kind of 2 dimensional audio will be after time not that interesting anymore for people. This is based on our emotion. Because when you own a 2 dimensional system the distance between you and your music is too big.
It is not able to create enough emotion to be liked for a long period. This is why people try to look for new parts in their set.
I have proven that only when people go from 2 dimensional to 3 dimensional audio they will use their set a lot more. And also for a longer period at the same time.
And again this is based on the emotion of us human beings. When you own a 3 dimensional system you are pulled into the music. This brings you closer to the music. It will become a more intens and emotional experience.
Most brands and also series of loudspeakers do not own crossovers and the d.n.a. to build a deep and wide stage. These are the essential parts to be able to create a 3 dimensional stage.
Even when you would own a speaker who is able to build a deep and deep stage. You still need an amp and source how also own the properties to build a deep and wide stage.
In 18 years of time I have tested many many amps, sources, cables and other parts to find out what the d.n.a. is. But it takes a lot of time to be able to think and work in properties.
I started to work in audio in 1998. I worked for about 40 hours a week. Beside my work time I spend about 40 hours on testing each week. I was addicted to music and sound. And this never changed.
These days I still test a lot and this makes my knowledge and insight grow on an on. Audio for me is like a Formula 1 car. You want to improve over and over again.
When you are not able to think in properties you choose audio by trial and error. This means that you only judge the endresults. This is very limited because you miss a lot of the information you need to understand why the stage and sound is what you hear.
Based on the knowledge I have now I understand why all the shows and expensive sets I auditioned in the past sounded so limited.
Because they were incomplete. This means that they miss parts of Tru-Fi. When you miss parts of Tru-Fi you miss parts which influences our emotion. The level of emotion in the music is of a lower qualtiy. |
The Utopia, Sopra and 1000 series are able to create a deep and wide stage. The cheaper one are not good in creating stage depth and width.
I think this also will count for the Aria’s. The 28khz tweeter I see as a limited tweeter. Because you still will get harsness in the high freq.
The Monitor Audio Gold speakers use a superior tweeter compared to the tweeter of the Aria.
Even the Utopia tweeter can give difficulties in high frequencies. In many auditions we counterd these issue’s.
Dome tweeter I call second WW tweeter. Because it is so limited based on many parts.
I would never sell a loudspeaker in the price range of the Gols series with a dome tweeter. I hate any kind of limitation. I will never sell any kind of limitation to any client.
|
When you work and think by Tru-Fi you can reach a superior level out of audio compared to the limited trial and error way everybody is using.
By working by Tru-Fi you can use all the properties/talents the MA speakers own.
I create a much higher level and quality out of any Monitor Audio speaker. You cannot compare it with the sound and quality all other shops are able to reach.
This level I can create has no competition. I has a higher level of emotion and intensity. We create and sell a sound instead of brands.
Monitor Audio is only a part of our sound. The main focus is always the sound. All the different parts in a set are only used by their properties.
We are only interested in properties, the rest doesn’t matter. We collect properties with them we build our sound.
This is a totally different approach in audio. But in endresult and quality superior to any system you could create by trial and error. |
Do you mean the old or new Pl-300?
Which amp do you use at the moment?
|
I own the Pl-500 as well, but Monitor Audio make many great speakers. I have sold hundreds of MA speakers in over 9 years of time.
In the last 7 years I sold them all with a 3 dimensional stage. This is what the MA speakers make so special compared to all other brands.
Most shops do not have the knowledge to think in properties. They really don’t F know which brands are able to create a 3 dimensional stage.
The most dissapointing part is that in most shops in the world MA speakers are demoed always in 2D. This way they never can demo why they are so much more special compared to all the other brands. |
The 11S3 is an exeptional poor 2D amp. I have a shootout of the 11S3. I invited 2 of my clients who play with the Pl-200 at this moment. They played both with Marantz 2D amps. I wanted to bring them to a 3 dimensional stage. So we did a shootout. You have to translate the text. After the shootout they both directly sold their Marantz amps. This is what 3 dimensional sound does with people. The 11S3 plays a full flatt 2D stage with the GX-200. The Onkyo TX-NR3010 with a S.A.P. measurment outperformed the 11S3 in stereo use with ease. The 11S3 is e 2D hifi stereo amp. This is F insane to be used with any Monitor Audio loudspeaker. You must be a fool to use this combination. https://www.facebook.com/bobby.kingma/media_set?set=a.10155458418710083.1073741874.588405082&typ...https://www.facebook.com/bobby.kingma/media_set?set=a.10155460238350083.1073741875.588405082&typ...Audio always need to used by it’s properties. The Marantz has the d.n.a. of a 2D stage. You cannot change this. Each Monitor Audio loudspeaker goes to a much higher level when you use a 3D amp. That is why I only use amps which are able to create a deep and wide stage. |
I think the best option for you is to sell the Marantz. You need power for the Pl-300.
You need to spend some extra money on an amp. Based on the fact that you do not have a lot of knowledge I will give you some advice you can use for yourself.
Primare A32 and Pre30 is a very good option. To contol the Pl-300 and to create a deep and wide stage.
Pathos Inpol-2 is also an option. You need to see for a used one. This one cab also create a 3D stage with the Pl-300 |
They will. It is like a perfect match in heaven. You have no option for S.A.P-measurement, this is the best you can do in your position.
It is a pitty Primare does not make this level anymore. They made the wrong decision to start with class D. These amps are of a lower quality. |
Don’t buy a Pass Labs integrated. I tested them a few times. I didn’t like them. This has nothing to do with the sound or stage.
But based on the fact that the individual focus of instruments and voices is not as real and intimate as it should be.
I had many conversations about this with Desmond of Pass Labs. In real instruments and voices are a lot more intimate and direct.
I owned the Pass Labs XP-20, it was not good enough. Pass Labs creates stunning amps and good Pre amps. But not stunning ones. Audio is in my world only about the best ones, the rest doesn't matter.
The primare I30 has not enough power for your speakers. Even the 11S3 is not enough. The Gold 300 also need space from the wall. |
Rec out. To be honest I would never want to use a subwoofer without S.A.P-measurement. Because you will never get a perfect integration with your speakers. Even when you buy a subwoofer with roomcorrection it only can adjust the subwoofer a little to the room. But it still does not integrate like we do with S.A.P.-measurement.
This is a totally different level of integration. I hated subwoofers for stereo use for a long time. Until I created stealth low frequency.
This is the only way to create stealth low frequency with a subwoofer.
In other sitations you easily can audition that it does not integate perfectly. This is F irritating during listening. And not relaxt! |
In my world a subwoofer is only an option when you use S.A.P.-measurement.
In all situations I never heard a full integration like we create with S.A.P. Beside this we are able to create the energy were it is at the recording.
I always use a few songs to proof the integration and timing is not perfect. In my world there is no room for errors. Audio is my world is only focussed on the best possible. Second best is for losers in my world.
You need us, but I am on the other side of the ocean. You will get a much lower result in sound. Soon we will have a website as well. With videoblogs. Also in english.
We will show how big the differences are in the way we work, And the fact that we create a much higer level in sound compared to any other companyin the world.
Audio needs to be played by shootouts. Because the best and most convincing sound always will be chosen over any inferior level in sound! |
I did run an audio shop and I had over 30 pairs of different Monitor Audio loudspeakers. And we also had different tube amps.
I did found the best combination in timing and control in the low frequencies. However I loved the combination with some Pathos amps.
They better controled the Monitor Audio louspeakers. I think you should bring your loudspeaker to find out if the combination will work out.
The Gold 300 is one of the more difficult Monitor Audio loudspeakers to control and adapt in a room. You need space and power. I created the best results with Gold 300 when I had a lot of current.
Goodluck |
I sold many Gold 200 as well. These are a lot more easy to place in a room compared to the Gold 300.
That is why I said: test it out yourself. And you will findout if it works.
When we compared the first Platinum series en old Gold series of MA with Pathos, Primare and tubes we prefered the Pathos to be the best option of 2 worlds.
But the Primare was in controle, dynamics en details the best. But we prefered the sound of the Pathos.
I also could create stage depth with tubes amps. But I missed the timing en details we could achieve with the Pathos and Primare. |
The I32 is very poor in sound. I don't sell the new Primare products.
When you compare the older and the new Primare products you can hear that they went a big step back.
Their class D amps sounds dead. What you see often these days is that manufacturers use different and often cheaper parts which don't improve the sound.
At the end audio is all about quality and diversity in the middle frequencies. When you go from this path you will loose.
Primare is having a difficult times, this is also based on the fact that they choose the wrong path to choose for class D.
I have spoken to several Primare delers and they all think the older Primare was better. It is difficult to understand why they go on with class D. They lost a lot of their sales compared to the past.
And shops loose their interest in Primare. |
When you don't like a too warm sound, the Primare sound you will like. It has a lot more details compared to Marantz. But it still has a musical sound. And a dood 3D sound.
I think the older Pre 30 and 33.2 is a combo. And when you have more money an A32 is an option.
Don't focus too much on my S.A.P. I think the older Primare is the best option for you. I hope you can find it overthere for good prices.
goodluck |
Always test it yourself and when you are happy this is what counts most:)
Same about the subwoofer, just test it and you will see. |
I never sold this one. I only sold and used the A34.2.
I cannot judge. It is not the poweramp. It even could be better compared to the Pre30. I don't think this will be a big risk. |
I sold many Gold speakers already. The speaker even sound good out of the box. But after about 400 hours ( my clints always play as much as possible even during the night) the low freq. will become tighter and faster.
I can promiss you that even with my Pl-500 and 2 times 700 watt out of my Pass you still need a subwoofer.
Because stealth low frequency makes the stage wider and deeper. And 16hz is a lot deeper than how deep the Pl-500 gan go. The biggest difference is that is goes a lot deeper even at very low volume. The Pl-500 only can play at 22hz when you play at extreme volumes.
With stealth low frequency instruments become more palpable as well. You hear more decay. The soudn becomes more musical. I use my Platinum sub from 16-140hz. When you use lasers and a S.A.P.-measurement you create a superior timing. This makes it able to use the sub till a much higher frequency range like 140hz.
When I switch off my sub, you go to a much lower level of quality. This is why almost all my stereo clients play with a subwoofer. Because when you auditioned stealth low freqency, this is what you want. |
Music is my biggest passion in life. I spend about 200 euro’s on new music each month
Most music I buy at Qobuz ( biggest website for hi-res audio in the world)
And I also buy music at other websites like : Acoustic Sounds, Prostudiomaster, HDtracks and HighResaudio.
But.....most people make the same mistake these days. They use a separate dac often with USB.
You will loose diversity in the middle freqencies. This means you will loose most of the emotion of the music.
At shows many times you see peple with laptops or Imac with a dac. In all these situations ( NO ONE ACCEPTED) you hear a sound without emotion.
You need a networkplayer with an inbuild dac to be able to hear all the diversity and layers of the music. |
I have sold and tested many Primare products. So I know exactly the properties and how to use them.
What is/are your source(s)? |
The rules are very simple: buy a networkplayer with an inbuild dac. |
How much money you want to spend...... |
It is very easy to explain. I am perfectionist, this means I compare everything and only the best counts. In my world you can throw away all the rest. Because it does not add anything.
Why you would choose for less?
When I sold my Meridian 800Daxv4 in 2012 I wanted to buy a networkplayer/streamer.
But....in the beginning I only auditoned players with a seperate dac. They all had the same kind of sound. No diversity in the middle freqeuncies. I thought; this is not what I want.
It took time to understand why I hated all the networkplayers/streamers.
When I auditoned one with an inbuild dac I learend that diversity is possible. I bought an Olive 06HD in 2013.
In 2014 I had contact with some developers in dacs and audio. And they told me that USB is a big laugh in audio. And that it is not the best way to connect a networkplayer. And this is the reason why you hear the clinical sound without the layers. Like you transport 0/1 but at the the end you miss some 0/1.
People think a standalone dac is the best way to go ( Like I thought in the past as well) and it will give you the best sound.
In my world what matters is what I can hear and audition. What I heard is an awefull sound without emotion.
Based on the fact that most people have no reference frame you can sell them everything you want. Ans you can say what ever you want.
But based on my knowledge and insight this will never work. I know what I hear and what I miss.
And loser sound is only made for F. Losers by F. Losers.
I hate any kind of inferior sound. You can see a standalone dac as a ship with fugitives from Syria to Greece. In the beginning there are 100 fugitives. At the end only 80 will come to Greece at the end of the trip.
I am a Lumin dealer, and for me it is very easy to outperform the loser dacs. Because each person will choose for the most convincing and emotional sound. This makes it so easy what diversity in the middle frequencies does with your emotion.
This is what audio makes so easy. Creating the best sound, it always will win.

Wellcome in the ’real’ world. I am working in the world of sound&vision of over 18 years of time. What influenced me most were the people who were screwed by other audio shops.
These situations have become more regulary than in the past. This made me aware that the world of audio world needs to change. This way audio is being sold these days within 10 years the market in audio will become so much smaller.
It is not the question if it should be changed and done differently. But when it will be done differrently. This is the only option. Because at the end you cannot life anymore of the older getting audio users.
The younger people are not that interested anymore. There is only one way to change it and that is more and better quality. Emotion is something we all like and prefer.
When people hear music played at a much higher level in emotion the interest becomes a lot bigger. I have seen this when I let people hear the difference between 2d and 3d sound.
The way people react and respond to 3 dimensional sound says it all. Beside this audio needs a better control about the acoustics. Because this is the biggest limitation.
Spending thousands of dollars on audio does not garantee you anything. It does not solve the acoustic problems. Like all the acoustic pannels will not make a huge improvement.
First you need to give people a superior level in sound qualtiy for a price many people can afford. Most people are not able to look further. Most people are thinking and working at short distance.
This is why things don’t change that fast. It needs to change because there is no other option. You cannot run away from it. At the end it will catch you and then it is too late.
You need to do it now!! |
I hate Apple as well. I call it a concentration camp. You are only allowed to move within their territory.
And yess you can also use Android. But it works more easy with an Ipad. This is why I use an Ipad. Only for my Lumin S1. I don't use it for anything else.

The cheapest one. Most of my clients buy a used mini Retina.
DON'T BUY A NORMAL ONE. IT IS VERY IRRITATING TO USE.
SO BUY A MINI!! |
