Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
Also I would like to clarify something.  When I say the best I mean what I actually mean those pieces that are supposed to be really great based on the reviewers and the industry guys that supposedly say they are. Now I know a lot of payola is goi...

I totally understand all the opinions. I allowed myself to hear a number of different systems in different enviorment. Personal preferences are really important. I also think system matching is really important. I’ve heard all out assault systems ...

I just think you have have to hear more gear to have better reference points.  I’ve heard those super high end systems and I think they provide a good foundation for what’s possible. It wasn’t just the cost of the gear it was also set up properly....

It’s funny how we get in these debates with people who have and never will hear your system in your listening enviorment. Very few people in the USA have my speaker. I have one of about 10 pair in the whole country at this time.  In addition very ...

@glupson. True you are right.  It was a question. I guess if you have bad hearing the answer is no. Lol. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I love my cables in my system in the end that’s all that matters.
