Validation


To go along with my post about how competitive you are regarding your set, is this question: Do you need someone to validate the quality of your set or can you be happy with it all by yourself?  In my case, no one has heard my set in a long time and I’ve made many improvements.  So far, I’m very pleased with what I’ve done, but I do wonder what others might think.

How about you?

I sometimes wonder what my local dealer would think of my system, in my room, but mostly because I didn’t buy everything from him. Although he does sell some of the gear I’ve bought used. 

But not for validation, rather ideas/suggestions from a different perspective as no one else besides my wife has any interest, and she is happy as is.

I like audiophile friends to visit and give their thoughts on the system. Unfortunately, it happens rarely. All but about three have passed on. Luckily, I know when I'm pleased with the system. 

Today was a great day. I upgraded from Ayre Codex to the Ayre QB-9 DSD Twenty DAC. The Aurender N200 is very happy and I'm very pleased.

Thanks,

....it seems to me that the only real competition that could occur is to race turntables.....on edge, a 'drag race' sort of affair.....

'Couse, having a golf tournament done with nothing but slingshots and pool cues for putting has a bent appeal to moi'...

...can see it now....
