How competitive are you with your system?

My system is based round the unique and astonishing Audiopax amp with timbre lock.  The latter the most amazing but utterly baffling but also utter revolutionary design of the sadly departed genius Eduardo de Lima. Having mastered how to set it properly that allows me to be confident in the sound in my pretty small listening room. I also use an optical cart on my TT and for digital it’s the aforementioned EMM Labs. I recently added a 2 track 2 c reel to reel. What’s yours Carlos? 

@carlos269  I only offered the two old videos as example of what I feel is the reason why video over the web is not a good way to judge a system. In my examples, what cannot be heard, particularly in the Miles Davis track is the ability of the system to portray depth and also air. While my current system is far superior in all ways to the older versions, I know that the increase in depth portrayal, resolution ( which I greatly worked on) and soundstage definition would not be able to be picked up on a video, since it was not before. 

@isellgoodgear Ok good information. I have way to many systems and equipment to detail and list them all, but they are chronicled and described only. Just use goggle and you will find the details on my “OKTAN6”, “WAAR”, “Pinnacle”, and other of my systems.

YT video can p-up air and depth fine to me. I made 2 videos. One at 9pm (noisy power) and one at 1am (clean power). Therefore, I always records after midnight.

@daveyf Depth and width of soundstage is a function of the playback speakers as well as the system’s audio recording so yes that is one of the things, along with imaging, that is hard to assess from these system videos as you cannot 100% attribute it to the audio recording, but “air” is well communicated and discerned from system’s audio recordings shot from the listening position. The key is to be consistent with the speakers that you are listening to any two system videos on.
