I did in the lower budget realm (i.e. $5-10K) pales in comparison with better rigs. I could consign all of the sub $10K rigs to the unimpressive category.Do you listen the electronic component quality instead of the Speakers/ROOM ?
Probably....
In my experience there is absolutely no comparison between the sonic quality of a system BEFORE and AFTER vibrations and noise floor controls and especially acoustic control...
Then instead of saying that anything under 10,000 bucks is "uninpressive" perhaps you must think twice and instead of selling to people the illusion of an absolute S.Q. scale with what is "the best in the world" at the top determined by YOU , you must sell the - S.Q. /PRICE RATIO- concept which is more objective, more practical and less deluding ?
But your expertise is in this "without end pursuit" to the moon with you guiding it seems....
After reading you most people must think that they listen to "trash" and must definitively forgot about improving their pile of low "uninpressive " gear...Which is false because all relatively good system can be transformed in a better one.... Even the best in the world can be put to another level with elementary basic science....
Great job you do taking people in the opposite direction......Money talks louder than the brain indeed....
Very useful.... 😁
But for whom?
The truth is simple, when you pass some point of S.Q. /PRICE ratio and when you adress the vibrations problem, electrical noise floor problem, and acoustic, you are in the only important category : those who can enjoy without investing a fortune a great "music" experience; the "best sound in the world" is for a few very rich people....Anyway happily for us sound is not music....Snobs can stay unimpressed....It takes a brain to compute the ratio S.Q./price anyway not only ears....
