How competitive are you with your system?

I don't---I only have 3 friends that are into Hifi, one of which only likes vintage. The other 2 have the same taste as I do and we've shared components before. My inspirations usually come from seeing others rigs on social media. I will occasionally post a pic of my stereo but otherwise I'm content.

The idea is to get the performers to come over to my place and do their thing.  Luckily, the room is big enough to accommodate them.

Again, this is an Oppo-95 though a Yamaha RX-Z9 RECEIVER in "Pure Direct" and my Mermans with no eq or room correction, electronic or physical, and recorded on a Nikon D750 DSLR.

This one is for Carlos269.  You certainly hear a difference in the quality of the original recording where here you hear the "digital grain".  (And I probably recorded it a bit "hot".)  These are the problems of having a really revealing system. (I could/should have flipped the "Tube Simulation" switch to remove much of that.  Vanessa was on an SACD.

I'm not a techie but this should work. If I'm wrong, please help guys.

ronboco    @mihorn    i recorded a few songs but don’t know how to get them here. Can you message me on the procedure. Thank you 

@toddalin I listened to the audio recording of your system playing Landslide and it sounds very, very good. The sound is very clear and you get the warmth & the extra harmonics from the “tube simulator” which adds body. You have a really nice sounding system.

Compare the sound of your system to the sound on the recording of this guy’s system, who has the top of the line Gryphon speakers & electronics, and the new $350K dCS Varese digital playback stack in a dedicated custom built “acoustically engineered” room:

Landslide on the Big Dig System

How does the sound of your $6k system compare to the sound on the recording of the over a $1 Million dollar room & system?

This post should be Tagged as a “teachable moment” for those that think that stereo systems’ audio sound quality is all about cost.
