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.

@digitalviper 

Thank you for the details. I did my homework. I remember reading quite a bunch of mahgister's posts when he was more active on the forums. He is certainly very passionate about this hobby and has invested a lot of his time and energy in to building his audio system the way he likes it.

I think we are all learning from each other. So we can call be disciples and achieve greater truth and objectivity in this hobby. Every new opportunity to learn something new is worth it!!

I was only replying in kind to your very funny original post.  No rudeness intended.

I repeat:  Post some pics of your system and your will get much farther "down the road" (pun intended) with some valuable responses.

Regards,

This is the funniest thread that I've ever read here.  I would love to know if the OP was being intentionally deadpan funny or serious and clueless.

 

   To address the question that I think he is asking....which is how to get the best sound for the money....one serious consideration should be room correction software.  This can either be a standalone to an existing digital system or he could buy it included with various amp/dac/streamer combinations.  It really does help snap things into focus.
