WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?

@everyone I’m not negating the room plays a huge part in sound but I do believe in the high end gear if it’s really good. If you place high end well built and designed gear in a really great room and acoustic environment it sounds like heaven. I’m...

@kota1 i will say this. Having a great room helps tremendously but a really great amp in a bad room is still gonna perform well. If it is a great amp. Great amps don’t need perfect room acoustics they just don’t. It would help but you still gonna ...

@mapman i agree with you.  I posted this because I see a lot of that happening.  I see a lot of generalizations. I see a lot of spec talk unrelated to actual sound. I see folks that think you are not hearing what you are hearing and they will tell...

@dayglow you said it perfectly in my personal opinion. The HEA the little nuances like space, dimensionality, image placement, soundstage depth, width, height, noise floors, treble decay. These are just a few things that for the most part the High...

@mapman Was just joking with you don’t take it too serious. I have my preferences. You have yours. What’s worth it to me is not to you and that’s ok. But all I say is hear it before putting it down.  It’s fine

@oddiofyl i can agree with that. Some companies have great reputations, product signatures and things that they excel at. Nothing wrong with commenting on things you have experience with. That is kind of where I’m going with this. Some people will...

WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?
@kota1 definitely understand. My room is a difficult one. The stuff that I have works for my room and my listening tastes. I got lucky for part of my journey. I worked for an audio company that I did collections for as a lawyer. The part owner was...

Look I been doing this audio thing for 20 years. I have heard some really good gear. I have heard some well built, good sounding gear. I have heard really good reasonable and expensive priced type gear.  For some people a system that is under 1,00...
