I worked collections attorney for an audio company about 15 years ago. For 5-7 years because the owner was an audiophile. I would get 2,3,4 month demos with great gear while he was selling it and purchasing... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @jacobsdad2000 you also make a great point about misinformation. That’s why it’s important to hear it for yourself | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @ghdprentice great point. You need time with really good gear in a good room set up properly so you can gauge what is actually possible. The more gear you hear the better. It allows you decide where the diminishing returns are. | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @dayglow yes room is important. | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @mapman you make great points. Rooms are important. Also it’s important to research the gear you buy to death. That is smart and that’s what I do. Everything I bought. I bought based on research and actual performance that fits my environment. | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @carlsbad2 you hit the nail on the head. I spent about 12 years in a row trying every cable I could so I could learn as much as possible about the sound. What makes the good, bad or average. I probably tried over 40 brands in those years. So I sp... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @ernstmach i can understand your points. Having it in your own environment is important. Spending quality time with it is important as well. 20 years in this I understand that 100% | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @mikelavigne great perspective. High end is not always price. It’s build quality. It attention to detail.

| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @noromance great points. It’s so much in this world to buy now. Even to try now. But a lot of it can be costly. By nature the music coming out of it has to touch our souls | |

| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Well. It doesn’t surprise me that someone is so smart and has the knowledge of oz himself to think that they can come on a forum on another persons thread and tell them where to post their thoughts or opinions. Knowing damn well that wouldn’t do t... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Reading a lot of these posts. Yup. We have lost the civility. Guys talking recklessly to people on the regular. Knowing darn well most wouldn’t say it to their face. one of the responses a guy made to my post is an example of why they wouldn’t say... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? I have nothing against anyone here. I do have a problem with anyone saying I say cables make a because I sell them. Look at my history of post. I have always said they make a difference. It’s the snide comments that I have a problem with. About sa... | |
