@maghister you probably have done a great job maximizing what you have. But there is equipment that is just next level. My Infigo method 4 Dac for example uses the latest 9038 ess Sabre Dac chipset. The owner of our company worked with the chip in...

@grannyring @mahgister i don’t minimize what @mahgister has said or done. You can get the most out of what you have that way. But the build quality and technology in the right higher end equipment is just on another level. All things being equal. ...

@grannyring the story of how Hans Looman the owner of our company he and I met before at a show and the system he brought before he started his company was from manufacturers I knew that had worked together before. So when it didn’t sound right I ...

There are many ways to get where you want to be! Find your way but don’t criticize mines.

@grannyring this is why we have conversations like this. I know everyone can’t spend the money that I and some others have spent in their systems. But a lot of us have also educated ourselves along the way before we buy the expensive stuff. We enj...

@immatthewj i understand how you feel. I too have the components and synergy to overcome my room and I’m happy. Yes having a good acoustic room is great but that will never happen for some of us. So the better components and synergy the better the...

@bigkidz @jayctoy the whole reason we give people free demos is so they can try stuff and hear it for themselves with no obligation to purchase. You get to decide does it work for you in your system. Coming from just a regular audiophile to a deal...

@bigkidz +1 I agree. There are certain things that the electronics have to do that the room will not fix.  Some equipment just ain’t gonna get it done for some of us no matter what room it’s in. If it’s not properly matched it ain’t gonna work eit...

@jayctoy i now work for Infigo Audio. It has allowed me to get some really great gear that had been out of my reach. I’m enjoying my method 4 dac and method 6 stereo amplifier. My cables were made for these electronics so my system synergy is off ...

@jayctoy i spent a number of years in this hobby. I didn’t always have money to afford the higher end stuff. I learned through long demos that I would get when I did collections for a cable company. He had access to some great gear and allowed me ...

@mahgister my only point to you on any of this is the use of silver with my tweeter.  The rest is referring to that other guy who is always rude on my posts.
