Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality....


i was at a audio store yesterday with my wife. she was very unhappy to be there...

but i told her to stay because of course we are in love. she said she would help me with choosing a audio system on valentines day. but she did not keep her promise.

we had to leave the store early since she had to cook dinner.

so why am i telling you guys this?

its all because i got real expert opinions from a sales person at that audio store.

it was about my last topic ---- tweaks with audio systems

i believe for some time, i have believed that @mahgister was getting great sound quality. 

sure it looks messy, but never judge a book by the cover.... right?

so i asked the sales person about it and he said that the sound quality would be very bad...also he explained the copper tape blocks and other stuff would be bad for music and reduce the clarity of the sound. the sales guy said that @mahgister was crazy. actually i think i get premium sound quality with my earbuds and smartphone...so why build a system anyway?? i think the sales guy at the store is right. 

so what do you guys think is right?? i am lost for words and in complete confusion of my of state in my mind at the moment. i need someone to help explain how to make a less expensive system sound better, truthfully. with no lies at all.

Is that your Viper?  If so, just wait until you can't drive it properly (Vipers are notoriously difficult) then sell it and buy a real HiFi system.  Of course by then you probably won't be able to hear.  What a conundrum! 

Okay if you really want a serious answer then post pics of your system at a minimum.

Did no one watch the Mr. Ed episode titled, HiFi Horse? (S5, E1). It’s hilarious- and yet so true.

Wilbur buys a hifi system on a 36 month payment plan.  He tries to dazzle his wife with the terrific sound.  His wife becomes so upset over it she packs a bag and leaves.  Mr Ed, his horse tries to operate the stereo and says, “You have to be an electrical engineer to operate this thing.”  

It’s great!

So let me get this straight. Your wife had to cook on Valentine’s Day??

Good luck on getting a new system. You’ll be lucky to buy a new cable.

Yes I watched about 10 minutes, will definitely finish it though.

I'll bet it set "Audiophiledom" back about 20 years!  LOL.
