RE: I would like to take a poll


Nice suggestion.

As for " me ", I'm a firm believer in tweaks, and go about isolating each component from its surroundings, as I believe while we can't see it........,every component does in fact resonant and in doing so introduces a certain harshness to the music in which many aren't aware is present, until one then starts sampling different sorts of noise filters in one form or another.

I too have often asked myself, just how do some people listen?, or even if they might be afraid to admit to themselves and others, they can't hear?, as I'm able to hear what any given device which enters my system is going within 3 tracks at best, whether good, bad or merely indifferently?, and in doing so am not one whom sits there and second guess myself, if something is clearly better then an item which was in the system before it, more often then not........., it's up for sale within 24 hours, as to me tweaking or voicing ones system to suit their ears is about finding that very thin balance between transparacy and neutrality, yet still have a sense of delicacy and textural beauty which is more then capable of drawing the end user into the music in a more organically balanced manner where said user starts to express certain key emotional attributes while listening beyond the scale of the components themselves, and becomes more moved by the actual performance of the artist as laid before them so naturally, that one starts to realize this is what each of us strive towards in selecting our systems as we do, as individuality in itself is the spice of life, lest of course one believes one size fits all?.

Yet as it relates to ones system............., one should be more then willing to put fourth even effort to whine from it, everything it's capable of presenting as far as subtle detailing goes.........., whether it's cabling, power cords, isolation devices, or what have you, every little detailing to these key areas do in fact bring out even more from ones component, yet it's all about which priorities said listener sees as essential in how each has to voice their systems around their likes, and not others..........., therein lies the rub, and one which years ago lead me to view my system and choices as " Mi-Fi ", as I've no one to please at the end of the day except my own sensibilities, or am I missing something in thinking my system shouldn't be built to suit others, whom ears and actual systems do very little to convince me to trust either?.

It's subjective at best..........., but isn't life about one knowing what suits them, more so then others?, it's much like selecting ones wife............, the right one stands by your side for years and years, while the wrong one tries to run back home to her parent(s) at the first sight of a disagreement that doesn't go her way, as more and more women these days aren't willing to let men be men and run the household as our fathers and grandfathers did............., no these type want control of ones money, thinking, power to speak.

Like ones system.............., it's always about which ones speaks gently into ones ears that captures their imagination and heart.

Just shite to chew on.
