@mihorn. The system you have should also,have the sound signature you want as well. Equipment with a warmer sound signature ain’t gonna work for me regardless of set up. I like a small amount of warmth and a bit more detail. Some equipment just can’t give you the detail and low noise floor you make seek. Yes some expensive equipment isn’t worth it but really properly matched good equipment in a non optimal room can still give you the sound you seek. You put in the work matching stuff properly for your room and you will reap the benefits. All of it matters. I have a really great source and an amp that throws a great soundstage and has a low noise floor. The instruments have air and space. Then I have cables that are not a bottle neck and allows the music to flow uninterrupted and doesn’t change the sound signature. I have been able to achieve the sound in my room even though the room is sub optimal.
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
The last 20 years as an audiophile and now a dealer has taught me a very important lesson. Everything matters. The equipment can be great but no matter how much you spend the matching is very important. The cabling is also important. Some think cabling is all about making it sound better. I prefer my cabling to not get in the way. It’s like it can’t be a clogged faucet for your sound. Materials and shielding are very important. In addition to that the room is very important. You may not have a perfect room but you build your system to work in the room you have. I don’t have all the answers but you can’t just spend money and have a great system. Combination of equipment, cabling and room has gotten me there. I’ve tried a lot of gear and cables and this is how I feel. What are your thoughts everyone?

@mihorn some people will tell you. You can’t get optimal sound because your room is bad. Speaker placement along with matching equipment cabling etc can get you where you need to be. Each of our rooms and set ups are different. Do what works for you. |
I have the sound signature I want from my system. I don't think there is any system better warm sound with details than mine. Alex/WTA Compare to the original music |
@mihorn nice sound I can hear it some through your clip. I love the system I have. I listen to a lot of instrumental jazz with a lot of dynamics. My system has to have air and space. Listening preferences play a part as well. |
I got it. I was just saying, for your room, you could put a plug (sound-wave guide) on speaker drivers to change the direction of sounds easily. I won't bother you now. Alex/WTA |
