With money, life is easy, you buy the best or almost certainly the best, and you think about anything else than music....I dont have money, and in the last 7 years i read thousand of reviews, articles, opinions, in the search for the best system less than one thousand bucks, dac, amp, headphones included, i am very glad with my own system now .... The most important discovery i make about the greatest problem in audio, if you have an already good systems, commensurate to your bank account indeed,is the elimination of vibrations, and EMI, and this is the only way to go for me to transform an already good system to a relatively TOTL one....
If money was raining i would have spared myself all this studying process and bought the omega.... But i must say i am proud to be poor but more informed now....
Many people dream a one all made solution to all their insatisfaction and bought the last hype audio item, to regain satisfaction....My question is: one of the most sought vintage vintage audio item, 30 years or 40 years ago, is it completely crushed by the last very costly item now? The probable answer is no...First lesson is : buying vintage for me....Second lesson is elimination of vibrations and EMI... No serious company in audio will sell to the crowds a TOTL product or so called one , dac or amplifier, or an headphone, and after that saying it is necessary for optimal results to damp their product in many ways because of all source of vibrations and EMI affecting the performance....i concluded that for myself, and trust me there is no relation between any amplifier and dac performance nude or treated for vibrations or negative resonnance or EMI...i am no engineer by far, no scientist, only a poor audiophile, satisfy by his tweaked vintage system, absolutely not frustrated now by his lack of money.... Buying the Omega would be interesting indeed, but my system now is already almost there, except for headphones....Hence i want to try the AKG K 340, damped, and tweaked in my prepared system...
