What do your hard-earned dollars go toward?


After finding the "perfect" system within your budget, how do you then tweak it for maximum performance?

1. Mechanical isolation e.g., racks and footers

2. Electrical isolation e.g., power conditioners, power supplies and dedicated lines

3. Acoustic isolation e.g., room treatment

4. My system is just fine out of the box and I would rather spend money on more music

5. Other

groceries. At ALDI. That's what I can barely afford now, even Target's food section is a luxury

New music, particularly art-editions (e.g. 128-label friendship editions, signed releases). Non-fiction books. Charitable giving. both $$$ and in-kind.

1, 2, 3 & 5.  

I try to focus where the low hanging fruit is, but it’s fair from a exact science.   Lots of trial and error, and lots of evaluation hours to determine whether a tweak is beneficial overall or not.

 

#4 for me.  So many Blurays coming out with atmos mixes either stand alone or in box sets.  Bye-bye hard earned money, hello music.
