I have an all Ayre system.....need nothing better. One who is really an audiophile will experiment instead of stamping feet decrying "impossible"I concur totally with your post...
My Sansui AU 7700 is a legendary good vintage, my Dac is a miracle at peanut costs, and my speakers are very good one: Mission Cyrus 781...
My question few years ago was why i dont love my very well chosen components?
The answer came clearly to my mind in the last 3 or 2 years slowly...With experiments...
My system so good it was , has never been installed rightfully in his 3 working embeddings dimensions...Mechanical, electrical and acoustical...
It is not surprizing that i was not in love with it like i am now....I has never listen to it working at his optimal potential like most people here their own system unbeknownst to them...
I described all my creations in my 23 pages solitary thread for 2 years; "miracles in Audio".... This was my journey...
If i succeeded anybody can at NO cost or at very low one....The advantage i have was an audio room a room where i could plan my experiments that help a lot...
I never bought "tweaks" for creating my heaven, they are way too costly, i replicated and modified some or simply invented new one...Like my S.G. grid connected and modified with minerals and stone... Like my specific 18 Helmholtz-Fibonacci pipes and tubes grid that work like a room tuner and created an activated room... Like my "golden plates" all along my electrical grid etc.... Like my dyssemetric compressive use of springs with damped box speakers....And other devices too "foolish" to mention here among, enlightened perhaps, but passive sceptic consumers....
But it seems, except for few people, that tried some of my idea, others believe only in costly upgrading and prefer to stay unsatisfied or forgetting their S.Q. or throwing money chasing their tails or the moon ....
That was not my way....
