In Reply to: how is it possible to put together an expensive system that sounds " meh " ? posted by trioderob on April 15, 2023 at 07:45:04:
Thinking that throwing $$$$ at expensive gear and cables will automatically make the system sound good.......Overlooking factors like impedance matching between preamp and amp or between amp and speakers..... Or cartridge and phono stage......
Or using underpowered electronics in a large room. (This often occurs with demos in which the person demo'ing the system normally plays the system in a smaller room.) Or misdiagnosing a sonic flaw in which making a change in attempt to mitigate the flaw ends up making things worse........
Maybe the biggest one is using a source that isn't all that great (or if a turntable, not set up optimally) or not paying enough attention to the pressings being played...... (I've encountered demos on YouTube of megabuck systems playing noticeably compromised audio tracks..... )
There are a lot of oversights that can occur in system building, in which putting more money into the system alone will not necessarily cure the resultant sonic disappointments.
