on valentines day
we had to leave the store early since she had to cook dinner.
Oh Lord, your relationship is doomed ............
Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality....
i was at a audio store yesterday with my wife. she was very unhappy to be there...
but i told her to stay because of course we are in love. she said she would help me with choosing a audio system on valentines day. but she did not keep her promise.
we had to leave the store early since she had to cook dinner.
so why am i telling you guys this?
its all because i got real expert opinions from a sales person at that audio store.
it was about my last topic ---- tweaks with audio systems
i believe for some time, i have believed that @mahgister was getting great sound quality.
sure it looks messy, but never judge a book by the cover.... right?
so i asked the sales person about it and he said that the sound quality would be very bad...also he explained the copper tape blocks and other stuff would be bad for music and reduce the clarity of the sound. the sales guy said that @mahgister was crazy. actually i think i get premium sound quality with my earbuds and smartphone...so why build a system anyway?? i think the sales guy at the store is right.
so what do you guys think is right?? i am lost for words and in complete confusion of my of state in my mind at the moment. i need someone to help explain how to make a less expensive system sound better, truthfully. with no lies at all.

Don't bring your wife next time i need someone to help explain how to make a less expensive system sound better, Room treatments and speaker setup in a room your wife will let you use for audio. In a joint living space get a power conditioner instead of room treatments

Sorry to say this, but you should be a professional on-stage comedian. Just read-aloud what you type to folks on audiogon. Forget a regular day-job, use that money you earn to build a great system....then you won’t have to beg your wife for money. I laughed so much at this - net benefit: cardiovascular system and healthier lungs! Not sure if it was satire; either way, incredible!! ....
And yeah, I’ve seen @mahgister ’s system and sure it doesn’t look very tidy, but you know what? You’re not the boss of him. It’s his system...not yours. Let him enjoy it and stop trying to bully him in to giving you answers. One thing he’s got is respect; and based on your previous posts and this one...i can tell you’re lacking that personality trait - insurmountable proportions of drivel and confusion indeed ! Sorry in advance if I was a bit rude. Honestly...the folks on the forum are great. For example, so many helped with recommendations for a turntable (for my cousin). Looks like you get a lot of help from your wife...maybe just have her proof-read what you type online each time you post something new?! All the best to you and take care. |
My wife visited stereo shops with my me during our first year of marriage. That was in 1980. She has not visited a stereo store with me since. 1) Always keep your spouse involved in the buying decision process even if it comes down to, “If I buy this, I will buy you that.” 2) Salesmen are not experts. They know just enough to help you decide to buy their products. I have met just a handful of stereo store owners that really knew their stuff. And every time I found them grouchy and cantankerous with little patience to suffer fools. Seems to be a requirement. But if you are patient and humble you can learn a thing or two from them. 3) Watch the old TV Show Mr. Ed, S5 E1 titled HiFi Horse. Insightful episode that says it all about our hobby. |
+! Bravo @tonywinga
