In Reply to: Why does this sound so good? posted by Mike Brown on May 03, 1999 at 05:20:49:
Mike,the system as you have it set up now sounds great to you and that is
ALL that matters!! Why it does so is likely a combination of synergistic
matches, room acoustics, and your personal sonic preferences. The best
thing you can do is sit back and enjoy it :) If you start to doubt
that you could possibly be getting such good sound on the cheap, you
soon won't be: you will get the upgrade bug and spend oodles of money
and time trying to get even better sound. If you look too hard at
tweaks, you'll soon have your components shining back at you and the
cables looking like tinsel garlands with all the Peter Belt foil bits
stuck to them; your pockets will no longer jingle because all your loose
change will be sitting on top of your speakers; you won't be able to go
on a bike ride because on a whim you took out the innertubes to make
an air-suspension stand; and your food will spoil because you shut off
ALL other electrical devices in the home while listening to music :)Enjoy!
My 'fridge is so loud that I ALWAYS turn it off for anything closely resembling a serious listening session. If I could be just as diligent in remembering to turn it back on. No wonder I'm single...
Wise advice- especially the part about the innertubes!Thanks Mike
Mike, glad you liked my input :)
I scavenged my innertubes quite a few years ago for a completely different
purpose: was building a large scale model of a B29 Superfortress and found
the wings didn't want to keep a good flush mating along their edges unless
clamped...didn't have enough rubber bands that were strong enough and
didn't have much time before the glue would set...SO...off came the
innertubes, snip snip snip went the scissors, and I had as many massive
rubber bands as I could ever need :)
