[QUOTE="joffieb, post: 1128089, member: 13878"] My 2c: -exponential diminishing returns once you pass Japanese flashing lights; -the fewer displays the better; -speaker position is crucial; -vinyl’s sound quality is miraculous; -streamers can be cheap and good with the right DAC; -speaker cables matter; -the bigger the amp the better; -hifi shop employees are snobs and never offer you a listen; -RXXX,000 high end systems sound worse in a shop than your R20,000 system at home; -the LS60’s are amazing; -MQA isn’t bad at all; -I still want to hear Harbeths; -the golden age of buying vinyl’s for a steal has passed; -don’t believe people who say they can do the Sumiko Master Set; -amp power should be listed by current (amps) not watts; -someone needs to write a beginners guide to streaming quality (relevance of bitbrate and frequency etc…) -LP’s never seem to look or sound 1000% clean; -it’s very hard to find new music you’ll like; -musicians aren’t into hifi; -WAF is real; -making speakers “disappear” isn’t hard to achieve even with a modest system; -in SA we’ll need to swap to class D because of loadshedding; That’s it for now!
