Do you trust your ears more than measurements?
Time to have a real conversation.  I see a lot of comments about placebo. I hear a lot of comments that cables can’t make differences and components that are a certain price are a waste of money.  I try to comment on what I have heard. I can’t tel... 
Do you trust your ears more than measurements?
I’m not dissing measurements.  They are not that important to me as what my ears hear.  The joy the music brings.  My ears tell depth width detail soundstage and musicality. They are what I depend on the most.   
Do you trust your ears more than measurements?
I use my ears always.  I’m in it to enjoy my music. I dilly around with speaker placement a little. I get my gear in place and make sure it’s properly cabled and and set up and I’m happy. I’m not in it for a science project. I’m in it for the joy ... 
Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?
@vitussl101 the truth is you really got to spend a little to get up to the exceptional gear.  With proper matching it sounds great.

I think some think there is one good sound when there are actual many types of goood sounds that different systems can bring you.   
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@lemonhaze most of us don’t have dedicated listening rooms.  All house condos etc are not built for music systems or audio. Some of us have all kinds of things going on room wise. But it doesn’t have to limit you if you get great gear that has syn...

@ddgtt +1 that saved me years and thousands.

@frankmc195 we don’t know when to quit. I think I’m at a point where I’m good. Changing one thing can screw up my entire chain and sound now!

@benanders we all have different budgets, experiences and mindsets. Get to where you are happy and enjoy the music.   
Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?
@skinzy i agree with you. I’m now at that point. Can I get better maybe but at what cost.  I got synergy because of all my electronics gear and cabling are from the same company. Built on eliminating noise and providing clean musical power and mus... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@lemonhaze you can still have a great sound without spending the money I have spent on my system.  If you maximize synergy and you have a great room you can have a great sound depending on how well the things you do buy work together and yes if yo...

@lemonhaze look challenging my integrity openly saying that it somehow factors into my opinion is comical. But anyway I do this as part of the hobby. I don’t mention my infigo stuff unless it’s applicable to the conversation. Has nothing to do wit...

@ghdprentice man I’m blessed. I work for Infigo Audio now.  A brand I believe in and makes up my system.  It has allowed me to have this high level system and hours and hours of listening joy.  Doing this is fun not real work.

@phusis @asctim yes i am at a point to where any changes or upgrades at this point will only minimally improve my sound. I am at a great place right now. I have my system dialed in to how I like it and it aligns with my listening preferences and t...

@maghister don’t get me wrong.  Improving sound with less money is the key.  But the overall enjoyment at what you can afford is the ultimate goal.
