Right now my system sounds good to me. I'm sitting here trying to get it right in my head. Really I wasn't writing about synergy. If you came to my house to buy a pair of speakers. You buy the speakers. You won't buy the speaker cables because wire is wire. You get them home and listening to them. They don't sound the same. Are you going to complain to me? You bet you are. The SUM of ALL PARTS = the Result. It isn't the Sum of some parts = result. See to my way of thinking. I try to keep as much AC out of my system as possible. Now here is where people get upset with me. I DON'T care what all you have in your system. It is your system. This is being said as my way of thinking. I like knowing what you have. It just doesn't rank up there on the same scale as the water bill is due today. You list your things and I do research on them. That is how I learn. Now for the faint of heart don't go any further. You will get upset. LOL
Now let me get this way of thinking. Wire is wire! But you will spend 300.00 for another electrical box to make your system sound better. Electrical Box = Reverb, Equalizer, Active Crossover. To make up for the room dynamics? MYTH I would be working on my base components and what is between them. I do put some electrical boxes in there. I try not to. I use DACS because it was built to do one job. I don't use it to modify the sound to compensate for the room. See I don't grasp that concept at all. Yes I roll tubes. I am not adding more to my system. I'm using what I have to do it. My room compensator is the volume knob. Let me state for the record. I DON'T care what you use. It is your system. I'm one of these people I can find good in any system. I don't tear systems apart. That is like work. I'm listening to music. I have been working on the Cary system for over a year. I hope I can say I have spent wisely. The preamp I may have gotten a little crazy. It is taking me so long. I am looking for the best sound for me. I have a base the Carys. Now the CDP. I have the TT and the R2R. Don't have a deck yet. When I swap out. It isn't so much of sounding better it is different sounding. The presence is different.
I know my components. With tubes it takes awhile. I can picture in my head all most everyones systems in my head. If you posted a pic. That system goes with a name. And I picture you jamming. I would like to kick it with Graham one day or a week. I have played with some of his toys. Very Cool.
Let me finish now. At some point you stop getting major changes. You start hearing subtle changes. Me and synergy have a problem. I can say that has synergy and in 10 secs change one variable then it has better synergy? To me for a component to have synergy it can't get any better. If it can then it don't. If you start putting things in your system and are still getting big changes you need to work on that base. Sometimes you have to leave that comfort zone. I'm not harping I'm just saying. When you hear the kick cymbals and can almost see how far apart they are you are getting definition. To me that is a new sound. You may already have it. That is a good thing. Are you confused yet on my thinking. LOL We all listen to different music in different ways. When I'm building a system I have a sound that I want. I have it in my mind what it is. I will tell you what. Bring that Classe amp to my house there is room in my rack. I'll put it to good use on the Vandys. LOL Like I said I can find good in any system. I haven't cranked it in a long time. Nothing I do is by accident. It don't just happen. No magic at Larry's house. LOL
