You have a great way, of putting things, another way.
What a great juxtaposition…,.
You nailed it guv.
Reminds me of “My Fair Lady” but with another juxtaposition…..
“I think he’s got it, I think he’s got it!”
What’s the Sweet Spot price point wise in your audio journey?
I ask the question because there are so much gear at vastly different price points. My sweet spot is the 15-30k range. That’s where my speakers, amp, and Dac for the most part sets. There are good things below the prices but there is synergy and price/performance when purchasing audio. For some folks it’s the 5-15 range. It just depends on what you budget is you can fund great stuff all over Audio. Thoughts! No negativity. Just real answers.
There seems to be some confusion regarding the meaning of "sweet spot". Here are a couple that I like:
The "sweet spot" is the optimal price-to-performance ratio where investing more money yields significantly diminishing returns. or In audiophile terms regarding budget and diminishing returns, the "sweet spot" refers to a price range where you get the maximum perceived improvement in sound quality per dollar spent, before the cost of further upgrades begins to far exceed the marginal sonic benefits. In other words, "sweet spot" does not mean the best possible sound that can be attained. It seems that most, but not all of us understand the term. |
@abnerjack “Maximum perceived….sweet spot”I Has absolutely nothing exclusively to do with sound, or dollar spent. For example…. I just made it, sitting quietly on my table in front of me now. The sweet spot of my home made latte is perfect, with just the added threat of a quarter tea spoonful of sugar.
l will not bring the three bears story into the debate for that sweet spot. |
@mylogic Do you think the home made latte is the sweet spot and that a handcrafted one at Starbucks or your favorite local coffee spot is diminishing returns ? |
starbucks in general. l have my own coffee maker and grind my coffee beans. No art to that. l do not rate starbucks highly. That’s why l spell it with a small s. Too much froth so the “handcrafted” experts over achieve in milk content ratio to maximise profits. l’ve avoided starbucks for 20+ years in all probability. A sweet spot only if l would have shares in the company. |
