Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
The last time i discussed with Amir for a week here he confused Fourier maps of sound with perceived sound. And he confused Fourier linear time domain with human brain non linear time domain. People believe in their idols... They forgot using th... 
Qualities Of An End-game System
And "end game system" is the system that your spouse and kids are able to sell pieces by pieces ... But without your dedicated acoustic room it is no more an end game system only a bunch of delusional price tags ... 😊     An “end game system”... 
Kind of Blue
The greatest jazz recording of all time for me i listened to it through outdoor speakers from a little watch and jewellry store in 1964 ... This one jazzman played it  :      
Qualities Of An End-game System
if you dont have unlimited budget forget "end game system", concentrate on acoustics optimization in a specific room for specific ears... I myself enjoy the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold...Trust me it is really good... Is it enough ?... 
Qualities Of An End-game System
The OP list is right... But subjective.... I experiments with acoustics objective concepts and parameters to reach this felt experience ... My modified low cost system can do that to me ...( especially the headphone because of the acoustics lim... 
What's up with the price of Vintage equipment?
You are completely right... I even buy some and sold them back... @mahgister I can still hear the grainy transistor sound of those "stereos!" My comment had nothing to do with price, and everything to do with construction. Often, the sound passe... 
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
I can enjoy Bach in a bad car radio... But i need to hear the church acoustic out of my head with my headphone or the speakers filling the room out of my head if i use headphone... I used acoustics to modify them and optimize them ... No need t... 
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
It is not so simple division as that : @mahgister knowledge on how something works is not the same as using/enjoying it. A trivial common place fact distinction is useless here . Sorry... 😁   it takes me 6 months at full time to understand h... 
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
i dont understand some people logic.... They dream about 300,000 bucks turntable and amp with o.000000000000000 % distortion...😁 But they never spoke about the more important multiple ways acoustics parameters aspects of the system/room/ears are...

What's up with the price of Vintage equipment?
Generalization do no good... my Sansui Alpha being mid-fi at best is not even wrong nor right ...It is a mischaracterization ... What is a Schiit amplifier then ? Low-Fi certainly compared to its design and functions and quality and durability ?... 
Had anyone listened to Ken Fritz's system in person?
Thanks jetter for this interesting humorous  anecdote... I just read about the Hsu  which are in my budget range ... Interesting ...😊 Then he mentions to them that the last few songs were being played over his $800 ... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I concur with the post of  arafiq... I had no opinion and no idea for or against Tekton... But his speakers are innovative...Who can debate this? And the troubadour is in my price range and my needs for example... then this designer offer a pr... 
Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard?
This one sound good through my own low cost system....😁 i would be curious to hear it too... my congratulation...😊   My system does not sound shabby.😁   But if I rate it rationally, it would be around 10th or so.
