In Reply to: How low are your standards? posted by Curious on July 23, 2014 at 08:20:29:
I can usually get to a place where I'm content for a while, but I usually come back to a place where I'm ready to experiment some more. Sometimes a more expensive piece does the trick and sometimes a less expensive one does. I think it's more informative to try both and not just follow the dollar path, especially considering the role synergy plays in analog.
If I had unlimited resources, I'd love to find the absolutely optimized combos for various price points. As much as I love the music, I'm still very much a 'gear-head' and enjoy tinkering with unfamiliar equipment.
Getting back on track, I think the secret is to find a good tonearm for the price. I've noticed that a resonant tonearm might sound good with pop, and okay with jazz, but will show its ugly face on a dynamic piano recording.
Of course when I hear a good hundred-thousand dollar system I'm reminded that there's only so much you can do with low cost materials, so being content isn't the same as being where I'd like to be. But, the journey has been fun as well.
Hope this makes sense as I've just slammed 2 cups of coffee and am heading out the door!
