Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard?

Thanks for your kind answer i will listen to it ...

As I wrote, my audio system can be the best sound audio system for many people. Not the best appearance or most expensive system but the best sound only.

This video might be interest you. You asked before what makes my system sounds special.

Thanks i understand better now ...

But what is your point then ?

@ mahgister

My recording: recorded the sound from my speakers = reproduced. I can hear it any time I want from my audio system.

The original music: recorded the sound from a human mouth. You can listen only in the concert or a live event. Alex/WTA

For me there is no REPRODUCTION in Hi-FI audio...

Reproduction does not exist in acoustics...

Only exist acoustic TRANSLATION from the recording trade -off set of choices in the recording room , hall, church, studio , conveyed in bits or analog waves by the gear to the system-room- Ears-acoustical trade-off choices of the listener.

The acoustic takes from the recording TRANSLATED in your ears-room parameters can be conservative ,+or-, or very bad, with the loss of many spatial information qualities ( this is the rule for any stereo system because of uncorrected crosstalk effects) but the translation is NEVER perfect anyway if not corrected ( Dr. Choueiri dixit ) ...

It is why acoustics principles rule even  gear design and experience not price tags of cables etc ...

I am not sure i understand what you mean by reproduced here and not reproduced ... The difference between the two videos is day and night on my system ...

Of course. The original music sounds better almost always. But it's not a reproduced sound.  Alex/WTA

 

What if i prefer the second  and last video which sound better from my system ?😊

This one sound good through my own low cost system....😁

i would be curious to hear it too...

my congratulation...😊

My system does not sound shabby.😁

 

But if I rate it rationally, it would be around 10th or so.

@mahgister + 1. I was just gonna say My own system.

i just go to your virtual page...

There is no comparison at all between your TOP system compared to my modest one...i say it to be clear... S.Q. is also related to gear design ... My point is that gear design and upgrades are not enough...😁

We must take care of electrical,mechanical and acoustical aspects of the sound room...

My system so modest it is is very balance and the most satifying i experienced , not because it is the better i had seen , but because the others i had listen too more costlier were not well embedded...

I believe you for sure because you know the basic and i dont doubt that your system being balanced acoustically will exceed mine in performance and in impressions ...😊

But many people conflate potential performance by design with balanced acoustic experience in a room ...

congratulation...

i wish i could travel to hear your system...

🥂

😊

I believe you and for the reason you enumerated i am pretty sure your system is at least very good...

You gave as much importance to installation , embeddings controls and optimization than to upgrades in your post than i trust your impression  ...😊

Certainly my own system as over decades I developed, vetted, tweaked, and generally made my gear heap conform to my personal taste, which results in an astonishingly well sorted sound in my surprisingly great sounding room. Utterly personal of course as most of my friends don’t care at all, and I don't have a stream of audio geeks coming by with their preferences in their addled brains. As a certified "knob turner," working musician and concert producer/sound mixer, my taste has been formed from live music which I can instantly produce by playing an instrument, although listening is easier. Seriously, you have to take a uke off the wall, tune it, take a guitar out of its case...check the humidifier, change batteries in tuners...click a switch on an amp...it’s just so much

how wise, indeed!

Well, if you've been an audiophile for 30 or 40 years and you've upgraded your components a few times, worked on the acoustics of your room, been incorporating best of the tweaks available, collected or have access to the best source material...

 

...then maybe (just maybe) it should be your own system. 😏

My last dedicated acoustic room homemade with 100 Helmholtz resonators tuned and others complementary devices.

I then learned why and how acoustics concepts and principles rules over upgrades of gear so impactful for sure a best design could be...

Most people cannot imagine this, it must be experienced... 😊

The important point is not my subjective opinion about my room , the important point is my objective conclusion : Acoustics knowledge matter more than most upgrades, save extreme one as going from cheap low cost speakers to Revel Salon...

Reading most audio threads we are conditioned toward the opposite : gear and price tags  matter the most...
