As far as Raidho sounding cold. Once again it was not put together properly. High priced equipment is not the only yardstick. Room, amplification, cabling, source etc make a huge difference. That’s why if you paid attention to what I was saying in...

Inorganic. That is true. When you are listening for long periods with having the treble hit your ear wrong and the music has the right amount of detail with organic musicality it’s a nice long music session

@dentdog I agree. I have been around a lot of the old school guys. I’ve learned from the guys that have been in the hobby 35 plus  years. I’ve learned a lot about tubes and horns. I  demoed some older equipment earlier. I then moved up and then tr...

Not a big deal to share what you have but will run the mouth about how anyone who buys high end is a fool. Just get off the thread. Go that away!

They do this on multiple threads take a look for yourself. Honestly it’s America and it’s a right to respond but if you not going to share then just talk to yourself. People come to the threads to share experiences etc. why don’t y’all get a troll...

Well there are a few people on this thread they know who they are. All they do is attack the high end. They don’t share what they have.  They don’t talk about what they have actually heard. They are just negative trolls.  Useless!

Geoffkait I kind of notice that you always bash the systems of the guys with well means. Quit hating. I wouldn’t spend the money that guy spent on his system but the music bought him peace and joy knowing that death was coming fast. He was an expe...

The person who did this was a former dealer who knew he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. He made it his mission to put the best system and enviorment he could together. Price be damned. He had spent 20 years in the business and the hobby.  He kn...

That’s what’s possible. Get the best high end equipment. Match it properly. Put it in the right enviorment with the right recording and bam!  
Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
Well I think you missed the point of my whole post. He had great equipment. He matched it perfectly with cables and component matching. He had an almost perfectly measured listening enviorment.  He had the makers come in and set it up. The recordi...

There are large variances. One speaker company changed its signature and it’s high end speakers just dont get it done anymore

Elizabeth I agree. When properly matched there won’t be a 10 times improvement. To get great drivers, design, build quality and R&D it’s going to take spending a decent amount to get the really good stuff. Some people just have not heard the c...
