In Reply to: Looking Back at my Audio Path posted by Jotaro on September 29, 2024 at 14:45:30:
with the purchase of a Fisher 500C at the Navy exchange in Subic Bay (mated, when I got home, with University triaxials in DIY enclosures). What I learned along the way, which included a late-1970s sales stint at San Jose's Garland Audio:
1. Forget the hype about which topology or technological approach is "best". To me, the three keys to "success" are implementation, implementation, and implementation.
2. A key component of any audio system is the listening room and what you do with it.
3. Whatever an electronic component's published specs, the quality and robustness of its power supply matters.
4. Power conditioning, including the treatment of noise fed into the system by the operation of the components themselves, matters.
5. "Wire" matters.
6. Recordings aren't "reality", but rather a reflection of an artist's, producer's, and engineer's production values.
7. "Recommended Components" reflect someone's assessment of a component (or system) evaluated in an environment and/or based on value judgments that may not reflect your own.
Submitted with the acknowledgment that these assertions reflect my own biases.
