Never forget my disappointment a few years ago on discovering that upgrading components, cables and speakers with respected names barely improved the sound quality. How could this be? Fortunately JD11 introduced me to this website where I deduced that, in all but expensive top-end products, component and speaker manufacturers deliver potential rather than actual performance. They put most of their money into design/ parts and economize on implementation so leaving us with this creative playground from which to gradually discover the full sound potential of their equipment mostly at little expense. But first there was the intimidating fear-factor of making some irreparable mistake when opening up equipment cases/ fiddling with parts to overcome. Dealer friends steadied the nerve and intimidation did not survive growing exposure to the reality that operating cautiously is unlikely to invite disaster.Listening to beautiful music at a much higher quality of reproduction is its own reward. Have observed three valuable side-effects of tweaking. First, a listening ear becomes a more discriminating ear that becomes a more discriminating ear that becomes a more discriminating ear... Secondly, the practice of listening with complete attention to the characteristics of the sound of the music inescapably develops a focus on the 'present moment' that is transferable. Thirdly, the breadth and depth of this creative field provides unusually healthy stimulation to an aging brain.
Am most grateful to all those who generously share their knowledge.
