Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?
The ultimate goal coincide then with the ultimate pleasure in audio : learning acoustic and listening music... Not buying, even if buying a new piece of gear is fun when it is necessary....😁

As you can see with my video above, i do not discard all upgrade as deceptive... Some are not ... BACCH is in this category... I could buy BACCH and use it with my headphone as they are now, they are HIGH END headphone, and i could call then my s...

In a word, adressing someone the question : How cost you system ? or is it a low-fi one or mif-fi one or high end one make way less sense than most people think in audio threads... The right question is how do we optimize or improved what we alre...

Confusing acoustics concepts and experiment with room acoustic by most people here made for them impossible to understand what i means by: "Minimally acoustical satisfying threshold"... They then goes on a rant about the "ultimate goal" or "abso...

Exactly my own experience said in a more simple and direct way than by me... Thanks...😊   I called "the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold "the level where i am... Passed this threshold we race and go toward the "maximal acoustical satis...

Tete Monteliu seems to me  as a spanish Bill Evans... Same inspired lyricism... I will definitely look for some among the 38 albums identified....

What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
Taste there is here...But it is not about taste... Even stones can speak when you get the stone dimensions and composition parameters right... It become "more musical"... Is the first musician a man with mere "good taste" or a mystical acousticia... 
surprising comparison of tube preamps
Exactly my experience too... Thanks.. So my experience is that inserting a good tube preamp into the amplification chain depends on the quality of the rest of the gain stages in the chain. For example, the Jade easily beats small s-state amps i...

We pay for experience in only two ways... Money.... Some must buy and collect many pieces of gear to learn, it is fun if you can afford it... I could not... I paid by reading , experimenting and gave my only cash money : my time .... I can ass...
