Tom05 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 In audio , high quality is synonymous with high performance . High performance audio doesn’t necessarily require a huge expense , particularly when it comes to the electronics section . As mentioned above, the law of diminishing returns is at play here big time ,and unfortunately any “improvement“can be very difficult to quantify . If looking to keep costs down, buy the best Klipsch you can afford , and keep your electronics away from overly critical prying eyes . 🤓 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I have to laugh at people who flip out when some random dude on the internet disagrees with them. It’s supposed to be fun and I’m not going to get down and mudsling with someone I don’t know and will probably never meet. Better things to do…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the days we used to talk about important things 'round here and folks would get outta shape and you couldn't wait to meet them at a Klipsch gathering or pilgrimage.{Note: No emoticon added cuz some folks didn't like those either...} 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCG Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 A lot of strong points between high dollar equipment to medium. I cant simply compare the two. If some people paid that kind of money for an Ongaku amp, I cannot question him. Obviously most people knows what he's doing to earn that kind of money. If the amp will please him and give him a peace of mind, I can almost imagine the kind of money he will be making in the future. Same thing with mids and DiY. If youre happy and works for you, that's all that matters. At the end of the day you'll still have the pleasure of moving forward. Enjoy life, Not end your life. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The "High Fidelity" stereo days of my youth got circumvented by first the Boom Box and then the Walkman. The first allowed me to party with my friends in the great outdoors, while the last allowed me to travel and experience amazing places, rockin' inside my head without bothering others...Fwiw, I ventured back into the audio world discovering Home Theater and found that modern technology lessened the gap between crap and high fidelity. That's my take. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontknow Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I'm so sick of all the Bu#@&%*! about measurements and those clowns on Audio Science Review. They don't even listen to anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with the notion that a great amplifier should reproduce the audio signal faithfully, and that distortion including harmonic distortion should be reduced as much as possible . In this case the secret to amplifier perfection seems to be the addition of pleasant sounding second and third order harmonic distortions . I’m sure that many hard core audiophiles wouldn’t be interested in this type of signal manipulation , regardless of any perceived “improvement ” in sound quality. Two different schools of thought ,ultimately it’s audio satisfaction that matters most in my opinion . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
