I Am An Audiophile
I have a problem...I am a maximiser and sound quality is something I have chosen to maximize.
I like both two channel and multi-channel but two channel is what I have been upgrading recently.
I recently bought a pair of Raidho X-1s and it is amazing what a truly great pair of speakers can do. The excellence is surprisingly in the higher pitches, above maybe 3khz. There is a softness in a great tweeter that makes strings, brass and piano sound amazing.
You must have heard a pair of speaker playing jazz or classical and you literally cringe listening to them there is such a hard edge to the high notes. Imagine the opposite, a softness that is so subtle you aren't sure where the note ends. That is what you get with truly great speakers along with a holographic, completely immersive, soundstage.
I also bought a new pair of NOS tubes for my power amp. It is truly amazing what different tubes can do to sound. You wouldn't think that something like a vacuum tube which is no longer really ideas in any other electronics would sound great and, depending on design, give you the ability to pretty radically alter the sound profile of your system.
I love Audio and it is a hobby I will never leave.
