Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
I can replace my gear pieces not my two dogs...😊

How you know your system is improving?
You have to know where the target is in order to hit it. Also the target must be real not just a pipe dream that can never be realistically achieved. The problem of knowing what the target is goes back at least as far as Hume's argument that "ta... 
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
"All sound good on my system" as i also said does not means that heavily mixed pop music badly recorded sound suddenly "audiophile. Not at all . Crap stay crap... But when you can hear the trade -off choices of any recording you are astounded to ... 
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
Everything sound great on my system... I know why and how it is such... And i listen the acoustics trade-off choices of the recording engineer... it is enough for me to enjoy music in ALL my albums.. I listen classical ,jazz, Indian and Persia...

I see the issue with ABX blind testing
The human brain can retain & compare audio for about a fraction of a second. If it takes 5-10 minutes, or even 1 minute to swap cables, your ability to remember what you heard and compare it with what you're hearing now is effectively zero.  ...

First rule of acoustics applied for audiophiles : Your system sound great, the price does not matter here, if all acoustics parameters in the system/room are balanced then no one lacking or in excess relatively to the others parameters ... Learni... 
Audiophilism is a hobby
I always loved music... But before my retirement and plenty of time to kill i never adressed the sound problem... And i never really loved my system even with the myghty mithical Tannoy,... Then i listened music without thinking about the sound ...

These same techno cultists will soon advocate for A.I. system knowledge connection with the brain as the only one having value then, scientists would be connected on the machine without which "purely human science " will have no  value anymore. Yo... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
You had not understood my point at all... You dont even tried so enebriated by your techno-cult instead of science... Acoustics as a science exist...your argument is pure ideology... A small room acoustic cannot be standardized by the way guess... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
Are you a scientist? 😊 If yes how can you ignore that the main training of the ears/brain in audio is related to acoustics with an "s", a substantive then not mere room acoustic ( an adjective). When you experiment with acoustics, you can for e... 
How you know your system is improving?
I learned one thing : the way we learn how to install any system together in a room matter way more than the separate piece of gear and their price tags... ( basic synergy for sure matter it is a starting point ) The second thing , there is no wa...

Are You a Swifty?
I am not interested at all by almost all pop music ... Save few exceptions... I am a bot from the jazz and classical threads ...😊 I am ’Crusty Old Audiophile’ and i promote Indian and persian cultures... 😊 Audiophiles population decline because...
