My goal as an audiophile personally is not to recreate the most accurate sound possible, as you’ll quicklt start to notice every mistake ever amd it will ruin every song in existence for you, my goal has always been to create a sound that is the most pleasing to my personal ears, some people call my system too round, some call it too full, i call it perfection, as to my ears, this is a system i can sit back with and enjoy my music with nomatter if it is dire straits, pink floyd, allan tayler or damn taylor swift (i dont listen to taylor swift but i’m just using it as an example) and it is a system that just makes me smile, relax and most of all it is a system that can disconnect me from all the other things around me going on in the world.
To me, an audiophile system isn’t necessarily the most accurate system out there, it is the system that pleases you personally the most and that can make you relax.
This is what i call: No wife, no Kids.
