I also keep a bag of small quart crystals on top of my breaker box which helped to elevate the sound of my system. Now I'm going to move my grounding mat which I use when sitting in front of my computer, down to my listen room and try grounding myself while listening. Should be interesting.

And this, is the philosophy that brings me here. While I have what is a substantial amount of money for me in my system, it's not anywhere near top tier. My approach to putting together a system was to start with the best speakers I could afford that provided me with the tonality I prefer. from there I am working my way back to source. I have sound I've always dreamed of, but I know that my room and set up could definitely get me next level before any more money is spent. It's probably not the way most would or should approach building a system, but for me I have zero regrets. My wife came home from going to the movies with my daughter and walked in and said. "Have you been sitting here listening to music this whole time?" With a smile I said "YEP"

Synergy is actually a huge factor that people dont consider, and that's the difficult part of audio since there are so many variables. We got dac, pre, amp, source, you name it. In addition EQ and room acoustics plays a major role. The fact is most of us go to these audio shows and I mean 80%+ of those rooms are garbage, even with a million dollar system. You cant go in and say the room is why it sounds like crap, because the fact is there are the same exact rooms with different set ups and at cheaper prices and they sound amazing. You must factor everything if you want that happy place in audio.
@tothemax324Ай бұрын
Adding modern EQ in a modest system can be beneficial, but I would hesitate doing the same at a higher end level. And stay away from those old distortion sliders.

@mikegoddard7354Ай бұрын
@@ryanschipp8513 I definitely agree, but to one up that the source itself is crucial. Biggest upgrades to my stereo systems, which I have two, has been the addition of bit perfect streamers. I used the same streamer on both and I did not spend 1000's either, nor did I buy you typical audio company streamer. I have one of those and that was also did improve the overall performance, but even the Pi based streamers with a quality HAT work phenomenal l when designed properly. Also they only cost about 300 or less. But to get to the point, I think anyone into hifi is using quality content as that is basically part of the hobby. You would hope that's not a miss or an unchecked box
