RE: Mejias' budget system
Posted by RGA on October 9, 2012 at 02:57:55:
Well I would assume that he paid for it. I could of course be wrong if Mejias could be bought you'd think his standard would be a bit higher than entry level inexpensive products.
I am not familiar with him as a reviewer but the impression I got was that he was being attacked in a way for not having a supremely high end (read expensive) rig. My main system is in Canada and I have purchased a new budget system while working in Hong Kong. Having a budget system doesn't make me hear worse. It's very possible to have taste and class and great ears on a tiny ass budget - and it's possible to own a top of the line $300,000 stereo money stuffed in the pillows and be completely classless, tasteless, and tone deaf.
I'm pretty sure Mejias can listen to a big MBL, Quad, Harbeth etc and not be under the impression the PSB Alpha B-1 is better sounding. Although this is an assumption as well.
