Comparing physical and mental well-being to a hobby is a ludicrous analogy!
Changing audio beliefs
Are there any audio beliefs you once held to firmly that you no longer subscribe to?
I was an ardent believer in cables. I still believe cables matter but now not so much. Beyond a basic level of competence in the cable and connector, in my opinion, the rest is smoke and mirrors. Of course, it’s also possible that at my age (senior citizen) cables just do not matter anymore

@dayglow , I don’t know who that was meant for, please elaborate. Because frankly, it doesn’t make a lick of sense. |
I was never a big cable person. Always just upgrading just to the first few tiers of quality for interconnects and speaker cables, but, using stock power cables. On my latest iteration of my system, I upgraded all my interconnects (OCC) and power cables to much higher quality, and when it came time to upgrade my 12 foot speaker cables which were already good quality, I went with very, very thick cables using very thin strand copper (OFC). I was instantly shocked with how much more bass my speakers generated. |
My biggest change in beliefs about audio is that it is no longer the center of my domestic life. Some years ago I started setting up a room that happened to have some audio equipment in it rather than setting up the audio equipment and hoping the room was still usable for other purposes. Acoustically challanged but esthetically and comfort fulfilling. |
