| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? I agree, it is way too subjective but, given all possible options, I would have to go with the one who seems not to care about anything but the feel.

| Room treatment and speaker placement???? "I tried to follow the "professionals"..I figured they knew more about it than I did. YMMV"I thought so, too. Then I looked at the promo pictures on established manufacturers’ websites. Speakers in positions that would trigger a few heart attacks ... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? Now, the first question remaining would be if CD-resolution downloads/streams can actually sound like those CDs. Assuming that new gear does unlock whatever potential CDs have. If downloads/streams equal it, it becomes matter of, more or less, onl... | |

| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? Given that all the music we hear through the electronic systems is essentially fake and heavily processed, it makes it easier to admit the sound you want is the sound you like.In case anyone is interested in getting the sound an actual musician li... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? "If you’re listening to the sound of the equipment then it’s totally failing to do it’s job regardless of price."I cannot agree more, but some might disagree.

| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? calvinj,That is all that really matters. I think it does not even matter if it sounds natural (I am not implying yours does not) as long as you like it. | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
