System matching can be difficult...


Anyone have good ideas on system matching ?

I got to the point where I can hear individual gears in a system, and point out the weak link, but system matching still is difficult for me - fine tuning it.

I am beginning to think this is the reason for my constant upgrade bug - If I were better at matching gears, perhaps I will settle down with a system for a long time to come...

System matching is hard but of course of primary importance for good sound.

The fact that it is not easy is probably one of the biggest reasons people continuously modify their systems.

Another reason is that it is fun to dabble and see what more is possible.

Another reason is that tweaks may be needed to get best results with the same system in different or new rooms/living accomodations.

Another is that peoples hearing and tastes change over the course of their lifetime.
