RE: REVIEW: IsoAcoustics Inc. Orea Indigo Accessory



Ric....., thanks again for understanding.

As I just got finished reading this:

http://deafcanhear.blogspot.com/search/label/Cable

It was a kind of reminded how various cultures tend to view their systems | cables | power cords | tweaks as well as life, having spent 9 years in Japan taught me two things is nothing else........, how to respect and take care of ones elders ( as very very few of them will place their parents or other family members into nursing homes ) and how to and what to listen for when assembling as system, yet over the years looking at this from an Americans perspective can in fact have us lose sight of the importance of ones music collection itself, as some tend to build their systems based upon how well it showcases their rarest of rare 2-7 LPs or CD's and miss the boat when it comes to owning a vast music collection which cost more then said system....., which in reality it should.

The very first thing I'll look at upon visiting someone's home it their music display, and then attempt to price the cost of their system in my head, without them boasting on and on about how their speaker cables merely cost $37.000 per pair!, my mind goes " like really, yet your system sounds like shite ", so why brag?.

While I'd admit to being somewhat of an extremist when it comes to paying detail to how every component is setup or isolated within my system ( room )I've never felt like second guessing myself when I know all to well I'm able to hear improvements enough so where as to sell off this or that I which sat there beforehand, as I know in my heart it'll never see the light of day in my system once it collectively has enhanced its sonics to a point where I know in order to better it would cost tens of thousands, and in truth......., it's not going to happen as a sense of rational kicks in and says " enough is enough ".

And while I'll occasionally read upon items to assist friends, or merely know what's out there, I stop my subscriptions to the audio rags back in 2010, as I began to notice there was very little more for me to learn, with the exception being this whole Computer Audio thingy, which I now have behind me.

Like you......, I do believe in a sense of neutrality as well as transparency, which is why I can adore CD players made in France | cables from the likes of Audio Tenke | Audio Note " Kondo " | Arcolink | Oyaide made in Japan, and absolutely to my mind believe that Shindo Labs is the most human sounding, not just a brand capable of making sounds akin to music......, but the most emotional connection to an actual breathing human being as if performing before me, tube gear I've ever encountered to date ( naysayers begone ) as well as Accuphase being the very best solid state gear I've heard......., and yes I've heard enough to make said statement ( after all isn't this my post? ) in the end, it's how one decides to voice their systems to their requirements, as I tend to say when someone visits me......, if you feel your mix matched system relays music better?, there's the door......, why don't you get home to it.

At the end of the day, who's ears are meant to be entertained more then our own?, and as for the clowns whom are to busy to learn new tricks and wish to challenge ones words......., do need to weigh the contents of their own systems, as all to often these are the same cats which attempt to proudly show off their vintage 70s Kenwood Turntable | Sherwood Receiver and a pair of Bose or Polk Audio LSs wired with Monster Cables in a gallery somewhere and then tries to talk smack......., I'm simply not buying into it.

Anyways, let me cut back and wish you a pleasant weekend, Hi Mick | Ken | Timmy | Duster and Bill, the same applies to all of you, be well that is.
