High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@immatthewj whats wrong with some people. Room acoustics are ok but the way stuff is built is paramount.

@patrickcarey thats why at Infigo cables we give customers a free trial. Stuff you spend on has to work for your system.

There is just some equipment that will take you closer to any other piece you have.  Most of the time it will cost you more.  Yeah the room helps. But the equipment is the most important. It’s ok not to want to pay too much. But the fact is that t...

@immatthewj funny how some expect that the room can be better BUT THE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT CAN’T BE BETTER AND GIVE YOU BETTER PERFORMANCE.

@gregm @mahgister well here we go.  I completely disagree.  Point blank in you build higher quality speakers and amplifiers that reduce noise and distortion. If you research how to use better materials and design. If you spend time researching and...

@mahgister im not minimizing your points. I think at certain situations a proper room can raise your system levels above where it is at. I agree with you somewhat but there are speakers and pieces that are just built better and sound better

@immatthewj its part of the journey. I enjoyed mines. I’ve had 8 amps and 6 different speakers with 8 different sources over the years. Bug my infigo gato combination now makes me smile. It’s the journey. In this same bad room of mines.

@immatthewj i 100% agree with you my system is 25% speakers. 75% electronics! My system is that way and I’m extremely happy

@jjss49 I think this entire conversation has been great. There are two camps. Those that can work on their rooms that put really good work to maximize performance. Then there are those that will buy equipment that is less affected by the room that...
