How competitive are you with your system?

@iselan I completely agree. I hope that @isellgoodgear  does not turn out to be like the guys on WBF that sit around all day and write & tell you about how great their latest and greatest cost is no object system sounds, but lack the confidence to make a simple audio recording from the listening position to share with others.

To lead by example, here are a few audio recordings of my OKTAN6 system from last weekend’s listening session for everyone to listen to, compare, and judge as they wish:

Remember. I’ve already invited you to come here. Yup. I’m waiting. 

isellgoodgear   A phone video tells you nothing of its quality. 

YT video is a very good tool to tune any audio system close to the original sound. I’ve been exhibiting my system in audio shows >10 years. I heard all other exhibiting systems in all other rooms (>60) every years. All audio show videos sound signatures are exactly same as what I heard at the show. Our brain can compute the situation difference.

My memory can’t remember the small sound difference after each tune of my system. So, I record my system and listen it in my PC. I can hear every small changes from my system. I keep tune my system to sound closer to the original music.

I know how a good hi-fi system suppose to sound from my experience (>10 years at audio shows). It’s the musicality and SQ (smooth and non-fatiguing) of audio system to make listeners happy to hear it many hours.

Also, system should sound faithful to the original music which is the best sound. No system can sound better than the original music. If the original music sounds bad to your ears, your ears are too harden from listening harsh audio sounds too long.

The clean sound audio without the veil lets you enjoy the music. The veil between you ears and speakers hurts you the most. When you listen the music, what hits your ears hard is the veil. Not the delicate music behind it. The important delicate music you want to hear is far away behind speakers. Remove the veil to enjoy music.  

The showroom sounds splendid and stimulus at 1st, but your ears get tired and bored soon in quiet night home session. The good sound might be bit soft 1st, but your ears and spouse will appreciate at your home.  Alex/Wavetouch audio

@isellgoodgear Let me be the judge of what I get out of your iPhone recording. See that is the whole point of sharing the audio recordings of one’s systems from the listening position, to overcome geographical differences. I personally would not want strangers lining up at my front door and making their way to my listening rooms and sitting in my listening chairs, but I do want them to get a glimpse of what I have been able to achieve if they are interested in hearing it. An audio recording of one’s system from the listening position overcomes the distance in our locations. It sounds like you are going to continue to hide behind your keyboard, like the majority of guys on WBF. Isn’t it ironic that in a hobby based on sound, you and others have chosen to convey how great your system sounds over written text words rather than through audio recordings? It is a real head scratcher to me that guys like you that go on forums and tell everyone how great & wonderful your system sounds but then lack the confidence to back it up and post a simple audio recording of their system from the listening position. What kind of logic is that? Such a great sounding system should at the very least sound stellar on an audio recording one would think. I know that it is not going to sound 100% like the sound in the room but it should sound close, at least the audio recordings of my systems do.
