Electrical audio signals are not particularly complex. Determining whether or not there is a change in an audio signal is pretty simple as well. Same goes for proper listening comparisons to determine whether he thresholds at which various types of change in an audio signal are audible.
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
It seems like when I see comments on high end gear there is a lot of negativity. I have been an audiophile for the last 20 years. Honestly, if you know how to choose gear and match gear a lot of the high end gear is just better. When it comes to price people can charge what they want for what they create. If you don’t want it. Don’t pay for it. Look if you are blessed to afford the best bear and you can get it. It can be very sonically pleasing. Then do it. Now if you are also smart and knowledgeable you can get high end sound at mid-fi prices then do it. It’s the beauty of our our hobby. To build a system that competes with the better more expensive sounding systems out there. THOUGHTS?

"Electrical audio signals are not particularly complex. Determining whether or not there is a change in an audio signal is pretty simple as well." Actually not so, science apparently is still not sure about electrical current workings see: "Two New Theories for the Current Charge Relativity and the Electric Origin of the Magnetic Force Between Two Filamentary Current Elements" paper. "I don’t perceive sound any differently than you or anyone else." I am pretty sure this is questionable, at least. |
@calvinj Great thread! IMO many have not had enough experience around HEA. It's easy to be critical over the unknown. Secondly with the recent escalation of budget audio Youtube reviewers and vinyl collectors, they have the attitude that the music is 100% more important than the electronics. Lastly many can't accept value is a subjective opinion that varies with the individual. |
