Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts?

Ronboco to achieve matching it takes luck if you are new in this hobby. If you are new even if the system is synergizing , you might not even know. It happen to me.So it take trial and error to familiarize components, cables , speakers, how they synergize with each other. Calvinj all about matching more highend stuff not always equal success? Agree.

@jayctoy @ronboco our goal is for it to sound like it’s playing live. We try to get to as close to real as possible. 

It requires a lot of knowledge and experience to know how to compare two products much less two brands.  The only people who have this opportunity are studio techs who hook up gear and take it down for a living (for the visiting engineers in a commercial studio) or sales people in a busy hi fi store who hooks up gear all the time.   Trying to do this at home is very very difficult as it’s the comparison back and forth that gets you this information- not just swapping once.  It’s impossible to remember sound qualities.  ’ve been around this for 40+ years and I’ve never seen anyone be able to do this once and remember (in hi fi or pro)2.  Thats the advantage of a double blind when you are unfamiliar with the system.

There are so many conditions that affect an opinion, you must do this over different days and using the same exact system except for the item you want to compare.  And here’s the kicker, the first sound you hear is always the reference you compare everything to.  So you have to swap which one is “first” multiple times.

Of course not.  The best solutions are carefully designed not haphazardly thrown together based mainly on price. 

And you are a dealer.

@audiotroy great post. I went #1 all Infigo Electronics. I like the send it was meant to work together.  Great point
