When did you put the most effort in setting up your audio system?

@newbee what took you a year to set it up? Just the room acoustic issues?

@markalarsen @ozzy As Mon Acoustic speakers are all in aluminum cabinets, I can relate to the carrying issues head to toe myself. we thought of getting those electrical stair dolly, but wow they cost $10k. I'd rather buy a new turntable. Always think about how to move your components before you start lifting up. 

@inna how is okki nokki cleaner? I am looking into a LP cleaner these days, so many choices. I need to free myself from manual cleaning.

@czarivey You mentioned it, now show off your record collection. Come on. I am far from getting there myself. 

@mahgister You would have to be resilient in learning. I respect you learning all those after retirement age. I recently met someone who started learning audio mixing and sound engineering(hobby level) at the age of 64, I respect! True passion that moves your body and mind like you! 

@ghdprentice You need to share a photo of your system after putting so much efforts into it. I think the more you get to know of each component in your system, you want to perfect it or get the full capability out of the system. I started this audio passion purely out of the asesthetic and as a desired routine of my after work daily ritual. Then I start noticing the rooms for improvement. Then the buying cycle begins again, haha. The usual rabbit hole.

@newbee Ah, getting the position right  can be a tough one, but in the end, it is a journey that makes it worth while. Especially with ported speakers, room acoustic is crucial and one of the reasons, our designer, Jun is also obsessed with is creating the amazing harmonics. People can get caught on for ages. 
@coralkong Go on, share your story in pursuing your pre-owned items. 

@christianb5s4 So which refinement experience would you say it was well worth your time and effort the most? 

@ghdprentice Wow, indeed you have a wonderful system. Not to mention your LP&CD collections are something that I envy and admire! I also notice that you also have head-fi system as well. I also have susvara, abyss ab1266 tc phi, meze elite, audeze lcd4, focal utopia(older version) with WooAudio WA33elite. Now I am curious what kind of music you listen to with all your fantastic gear. Don't think I am stalking you. haha. 

@christianb5s4 for sure. a youtuber, Nemo Propaganda visited our office the other day, because we have a shooting range close to our office building. And he was telling me that he doesn't get much of bass out of our PlatiMon whereas my office listening room has more bass than his place. I suspect the placement due to our products ports design. Anyway, the placement is crucial when your speakers are capable of producing great sound stage. 

@ghdprentice Nice. I always love unexpected encounter new songs

@kennymacc It all pays after all. We only need to keep trying and move components until we like it 😁
