In Reply to: Assembling a Good Audio System – black art or not? posted by John C. - Aussie on March 1, 2006 at 19:08:28:
........……IMHO I am unaware of any measurements, no matter how extensive, that can tell an individual if he is going to like the audio product being measured or determine, from the measurements, the audio product that best suits his needs based on how various products measure.IMHO I have always believed that the ONLY way to actually KNOW what you like is to listen and audition any given component.
I have several different amps and sources. To my ears they all sound different and some markedly so. (Not only different but some way better/worse than others)
IMHO “synergy†is the most import factor in assembling a ‘good audio system’. The folks who can simply put together any combination of audio components and be impressed and contented with what they hear are truly blessed and are very fortunate to be able to do so.
Lastly, a fact often forgotten, we all ‘hear’ differently and have different tastes, priorities and objectives with all things audio or music. This is why; IMHO, there is never a universally accepted “best†audio component(s)
