Introduction

Basically what is accepted in the audiophile world is that the virtual impossibility of obtaining the best sound for combination of the best teams. Much less expensive, but well chosen and improved the system may seem better than its expensive brothers. This is called synergy in the system audiophile world. Synergy is not only system to combine the best team, but it is a kind of long and pleasing to maximize performance.

Precautions and the principles can look foolish and lacking sense to someone who does not understand what salvation is Sunday.

In twenty years, I spent a long time money and effort to get the best sound (.. or what is best). I wrote some important points from my point of view. Most of these points can be known by audiophile anyway if not applied. More importantly, the points below consists only of my own observations. It is well known settings and different techniques. I avoided by not including the points that I have not tested and / or items not working is not right with me. I think the points listed below increase a person's system to a higher level with the same team.

I apologize for my English. I am grateful if someone puts me on guard against errors where the major language on the website.

I learned the truth of some twenty years later, is that "truth is not absolute Hi-End" Most high-end truths can be proven by scientific measurements. very sensitive ear of man means a lot, interpret, evaluate and decide. In a listening session three audio lovers, which probably will happen is one of the people are getting low enough, the other can be excessive and, therefore, but the owner of the network is thought is beautiful, not less, not more. This phenomenon is known as the reference brain. (See for details) reference brain injury is a type of our own timbre and tonality system. This sometimes causes conflicts with someone who compares a better team against his own team and can not sound in the other despite the other was much better.

Most of the items listed below will depend on system capabilities, but more importantly, depends on the experience of audiophiles. If the system does not differentiate between points or less experienced ears can not intercept them. Therefore some of the points below can be viewed by all. I'm going to be delicious, if anyone reading this article has one or two points.

1 – Listening in the evening, take criticism, or equipment testing must be done at night. This rule obviously applies to those who live in a big city. audible noise does not affect our city hearing and in principle we can not listen to what our system offers for the day.

Due to the noise of the city is several times lower at night, all the hidden aspects of Hi-end show at night and the system delivers its full potential. For more information, please check noise (see for details)

2 – The heat and humidity, moisture and heat have greatly influenced the sound. The system can not produce its best sound, energy and dynamics in a warm and humid. I do not know why this happens but it happens. May there must be two reasons: Moist air is heavier in such circumstances, what the speakers are not able to extract enough air in the bathroom. O speaker materials soften and behave differently in warm weather. To cool the listening environment before the audition eliminates this effect.

3 – The dark, music should be played in a dark room. In particular, the speakers and the system must be kept in the dark and the place of original registration must be imagined while listening.

The main objective of system of good quality hi-end is away from hardware and recording environment. Listen to music while viewing the material is physiologically demolish the virtual environment we intend to be in. The most convenient Hi-end system is the lack of visual imagination. The sense of reality is very different when they participate a concert or listen / watch from a DVD player through a surround sound system.

If the listening environment is not dark The speakers will be considered as sources of original music.

4 – Find the right listening distance, the sound travels in waves calling frequency. The volume of each frequency will be different depending on the distance between the speakers. In volume terms, the frequencies will be up and down when the distance is changed. Above all ranges mids and highs more articles 20-5 cm. The maximum frequency can be easily recognized by listening.

a – To play a test CD that contains different test frequencies. For example, start with mono 1000 Hz for the presidency of listening. After getting up and walking very slowly through your system. (Preferably with eyes closed). You understand that the signal will be ups and downs in the volume as they move as if someone was turning the volume control.

b – frequency music major and is the closest to the sound of man is 1000 Hz 1000 Hz is your starting point. 1000 Hz will be at its highest point so many times in connection with distance from the President. Find the shortest distance from your chair for the 1000 Hz is at the top. The ups and downs of this band should be changed about 50-70 centimeters. This is the best place to meet the midrange, but this is not the best location for the best frequency spectrum. It is only the starting point.

c – Stick a rope to the wall that may get into their shoulders. Now close your eyes and listen to different frequencies, as 300-500-1000-2000-5000-10.000 etc Hz, the maximum movement of body (sitting) front and back. Mark the edge of all frequencies that have been heard to the chain. Our goal is to find a particular item that most frequencies are at their peaks. If you do not succeed, and these points are not over each other, move the speakers to 10 cm in front (or in your office to listen to the front or back 10 cm) and repeat the exercise until you find a point that most frequencies are at their peaks.

This is not an easy task, much time, but free. Once you have a point, you'll be very surprised by the improvement of the existing sound system.

5 – Room Acoustics is best known, but the least considered of Hi-End. A conventional speaker may shed 40% of its sound is heard directly through the walls by reflections. Reflection: the difference in time of the original signal, an additional noise that exists in the original. In such a complex reflection, part of the original signal come later because of the front wall or ceiling, etc., part of the original signal produced by the speaker will stay if coming from the right speaker and vice versa. This complex listening environment and demolish the stereo channel separation.

Some music lovers are happy with this case because the speakers are appears to be better sound has disappeared and is wider and deeper. Some producers add more mid / treble units from the rear speakers (dipoles) focus in such effects.

One thing to consider that these thoughts do not exist in the original. If something is generated by the system / room, in addition to its color original must be named.

If the goal of a good Hi-End system to reproduce the original sound, such reflections should be avoided whenever possible. particular speaker Ribbon and electrostatic suffer much these reflections.

Carpets on the floor is a need to reduce reflections (standing waves) between the floor and ceiling. curtains thick will help reduce glare from windows. Glass covered with paintings and furniture to be avoided steep.

This article does not give recommendations on how An adjustment of the room, lots, but much information can be found on the Internet. But it is right to emphasize the importance of room acoustics.

6 – Objectives and exact location of the speakers, which is also another well known, but the least considered part of Hi-End. It is very important to locate the two speakers at a distance to achieve exactly the same specific goal. Distances must be carefully measured and the two speakers should be placed exactly the same listener wide distance.

OK, but why so important!

Their signals are distributed in the waves, as explained in section five. People who have tried the settings in the fifth section will notice that the maximum frequency varies with the distance speaker. In particular, the frequencies vary greatly in one centimeter change. In these cases, if a speaker is one inch closer to the listener, some frequencies Many speakers will be heard but not hear the other speaker. If the higher harmonics of the sound of man, composed of these high frequencies (it is!) Is it obvious that the sound moves from the left or right half. Moreover, in this case, certain frequencies are collided at full development and will be exaggerated, while others collided reverse phase so destroyed.

This is exactly the same effect losing bass when you connect a speaker out of phase.

7 – Mechanical vibration units electronic, no absorption of foot pain and types of vibration of the platform on the market. Should be placed in the electronics / speakers. These materials have two intentions;

A-To eliminate extraneous vibrations coming through the unit

b-To eliminate the vibration of the unit itself (CD motor, speakers, vibration, etc)

The most popular are the cones (spikes). I think the proper use peak is not known very well. Instead of being a vibration damper, Spike is a type of transmission equipment that transmits the vibrations of a point to point. In other respects, vibration condenses a high point and mechanically to another platform for the tip, but not eliminated. If the bonding surface is rigid (eg marble, granite, etc.) these vibrations are transmitted to the surface. In these platforms rigid (marble, MDF, Glass, granite) should be covered by an elastic material such as cork, rugs mouse, neoprene rubber or similar.

The vibration can pass a rigid platform on a platform will be transferred to elastic heat between the two.

Address Cone is also essential. Management must be on for the transmission of vibrations.

Perhaps the last thing on the cone is the cone should be in contact with the chassis of the device directly. If any type of glue, double sided tape, blue tack or equipment elastic and is placed between the cone and the unity that the team will try to translate the vibration and the cone will not work.

8 – marble through Speaker: a marble platform on the speakers to eliminate unwanted resonances most speakers. Thickness of the ball must be at least 3 cm and height must be at least 10 inches high, then the edges. Bottom of the ball must be covered by an elastic material such as cork, mouse pads, neoprene, etc.

How does the sound effect, has a powerful bass, but lighter and more relaxation in the middle and higher frequency.

He has to be connected to the platform through a cone, not a foot stretch. The abrupt end of the membrane is to guide the marble but not the speaker.

9 – Ground metal to static electricity, especially in humid environments and listening fully carpeted, electricity Become a static problem. The carpet is full of static electricity that can be transmitted electronically through the grid and / or human contact. Static electricity on the carpet is so powerful when tested in the morning before someone steps can be easily seen by simple tools are sold Radio Shack

To eliminate the effect, the speaker stands and equipment racks must be grounded by a thin wire. In addition, cables Speaker and interconnect must be lifted up due to the same effect.

What benefits can you expect from this trick is that I do not know why, but less fuzzy and the lowest low tide.

10 – speaker distance from the front wall, he generally recommended distance producers Speaker of the front wall (behind the wall speakers.) In general, the speaker should be located as far as possible from the front wall. The side walls (and) if so close to the wall, the bass waves will be reinforced (discussed in section five) and mid-high band is compressed because of the energy is too low.

Some music fans find the bass you want by putting them far forward is not correct. One thing should be noted that this increase is not due to low origin, but is the result of the response of the room called staining.

11 – Former Auto / Passive line transformer stages, new technologies developed in industry Hi-End is the pre-amps questionable.

Before the end, the result of a preamplifier is set to four bases;

AA connect more than one unit

bL'enregistrement tape from some sources

production volume and reverse C-Lo the polarity of the plates (as single component source)

D-Bass, Treble requirements

Today CD, SACD units can provide outputs 5-8 volts that are more enough to power amplifiers. Audiophiles are not interested in the tones, but more focused on simplicity. Dedicated phono stages are common, so Thus, most needs are no longer valid.

The biggest and only the groundwork of a modern pre-amplifier is to lower volume, not speed!

Imagine a pure signal from a CD, or CAD by the power amplifier, then cut this link, Add four outputs, four shots current, a pair of interconnects, many resistors, capacitors, tubes, transistors and all this in the link. How can we maintain the purity of the signal and can do better than the original!

A force of step demolished the neutral line and purity of the original. This corruption can not be so evident in the Most systems with lower resolution or ignored by some people on purpose. Each stage has a color tone and active online. In fact, audiophiles often use the online steps to balance their problems in the systems of tonality. For example, a line stage tube used to calm a polling firm power amplifier solid or a state rich in acute phase line is used to compensate the power amplifier Treble poor and vice versa. If this is the case of a system, the stage line, fully and lack of natural color will not be considered by audiophiles.

Follow me, the review should be to change the power amplifier to find the desired sound rather than playing with pre-amplifier. In other words, treating the original problem instead of trying to hide the problem.

It is almost a consensus that the use of a simple volume pot added neutrality as a pure sound. But in such cases, other problems arise. A pot of volume, may be a potentiometer or engineering managers strengthened the resilience of the alternator. Each step adds volume different from the signal path of resistance, thus reducing the volume. Due to the complexity of the musical signal (20 Hz-20 kHz) as a resistive load will act as a barrier to different frequencies. For example, when lowering volume, treble and bass is low or when it condenses the volume increases, means excessive, or vice versa. Do not forget to mention is the lack of dynamic range as well. A line stage eliminates these problems.

CD Due to these facts, the volume control or controlled analog volume pots, it can be used only as steps in line

With the new technology, old and passive phases autotransformer new line have been developed for the volume control.

These units will not work with the directors of the resistance and not to add strength to the signal path. The only resistance to an amplifier is approximately 200 ohm cable windings.

The transformation of the passive line stage consists of two processors, one for the left channel and one for the right. They have a primary winding and multiple (12-24 steps) of the secondary windings. Its director is the lover the volume by changing the volts, instead of adding resistance. Until I know, only There are three producers of these steps online. I used two of them. Two of them provide extra ordinary soft sounds natural and undistorted.

I changed Old Sound Lab deeply in myself that is the product of very good and very cheap too, (do not underestimate its price), but audio Consulting Silver Rock is a more pure silver.

Also worth mentioning that such passive line stages can be adapted to each system. In this case, input impedance power amplifier must be controlled directly by the output stage of the CCD or CD player. amplifier input impedance should be as low as possible. The best way to learn this case is to write impedance values for the production and seek help before you buy.

12 – Good Tubes (NOS tubes), it makes sense to pay 100? old and new tube while that the cost of 10? I think it is. Good advice can change the characteristics of a vacuum tube by replacing the whole unit. Our tubes are not easy to find, very expensive, but worth using. Especially the whistling frequency Superior is well below our tubes.

13 – Very easy to find a method polarity in general terms, European (German) standard AC power outlets are not the direction of the signal. plugs U.S., UK, Switzerland CA has a way to connect with the industry, then the + and – can not phases. Therefore, in such cases is not easy to find the correct polarity.

The electronic components can work properly, regardless of polarity. Our televisions, refrigerators, light bulbs, all the teams. Why is Polarity AC is very important in Hi-Fi!

Electricity comes from (+) across the circuit and the output of (-) Overall, the existing network reaches in the power unit first, then reduced to the desired voltage for electronic circuits. In this case, power is automatically filtered for the service supply. The transformer of the power section behaves as isolation transformers, input and output streams are physically separated. If the polarity is incorrect, the network will reach a system directly from the back door and go all the pollution as RFI / EMI on the drive. Due to the fact, it is important to know polarity.

More polarity and "is similar. If the device is removable IEC power input-the type of cable, the hole should be right (+) power when we hope to connect the front (as shown below)

Another simple method is to check fuse network. If the device is equipped with an external fuse, release the fuse and the control of an electric pencil control while the device was connected to the network. Must (+) Signal. Otherwise, reverse the plug from the wall

14 – the speaker volume level is safe to say no matter what the setting Volume is listening correctly. Audiophiles and the very low level of listening, some turn up the volume of the windows are broken.

If the result is to achieve the atmosphere of the room recorded the volume level should be adjusted accordingly, but no more or less. This case is applicable to acoustic acts, but not only electronic music, jazz or disco music, etc.

What we never hear the recording, adjusting the correct amount should be not enlarge or reduce the size of the original instrument. Higher volumes may, for example a guitar should be played at the original volume of the guitar, adjusting correct volume. If the volume level increases, the body of the guitar has become the largest obsolete terms, however, the body of a Mormon choir not be realistic in low volume

15 – warm up the speakers and cables before hearing criticism; Outside the theory that "a system e offer the best sound for several minutes until the transistors become hot. "Every audio equipment is required heating time. This time is at least 1 / 2 hour or 1 hour despite manufacturers recommend less. To my knowledge, the reason behind this is the specification of the resistors, capacitors, tubes and others vary things if they are cold or hot. Manufacturers make final adjustments when the units are warm, otherwise it would be a perfect game for the first half hour and worse after warmed up.

Who is the main applied by audiophiles to electronics, but not always the speakers and cables.

The speakers are very important because their passive components must be very hot, such as cross resistance. Its heating coils must be good. The cables also are important. warming period are not eligible for the cables, but the cables must be tested for some time until your dielectric charges.

Consequently, the heating time should be done playing (can not hear) the whole system.

16 – A good choice for the speaker listening room, speaker should be chosen in collaboration with the dimensions of the listening room. Unfortunately, the general trend in the audiophile particularly United States is "bigger is better"

It's like a new skiers from choosing the best equipment to learn skiing and before to cope with the many problems later.

speakers are difficult to position large, difficult to drive, reached over the wall of the room. If the speaker is greater for the room, the rest will fall very low energy sounds. The greatest orator means more problems. Driving requires great speakers challenge, experience, resources, time and money.

17 – PS Audio Power Plant, mostly I avoid giving specific brands in my non-commercial website. But PS Audio Power Plant is a special product that similar components are not comparable. It is a kind of regenerative power that runs on electricity. P300 actually regenerates new AC audio equipment. In this sector is rebuilt much better quality than the filtered AC voltage due to the stable and near perfect AC wave. It also eliminates noise 70 dB EMI and RFI from the line AC!

Not all his friends agree with me, but I think it is a very special team raises the entire system to a higher level.

What expected of him is much more relaxed sound, image, sound deeper and wider and deeper layer of glass sharp details. The improvements are immediately apparent. Be careful of using power-hungry amplifiers. (I'm not sure what hour Note: 2005)

18 – Surface Treatments CD, there are several types of surface treatment in the CD market. Shine the surface of the CD, the laser has more current information. What can you expect from a treatment surface is the high frequency are cleaner and wider. The simplest and cheapest method of surface treatment CD which is used by amateur pipe. This oil on human health of facial skin.

I apologize for this ugly hack, but our systems are personal and private in any case, it is not. oil man has the perfect thin viscosity and can be absorbed by the surface of CDs very easily and efficiently. Listen to her first CD, the CD smears around his forehead and extent of damage with your fingers listen again.

Remember to spread the oil on the finger every time before hearing this CD.

19 – Target the third dimension, the goal of a stereo system is to achieve 3rd dimension through two channels. All hi-end hi-fi or have a specific character, the timbre and tone. For example, a titanium tweeter has a different tone, a silk dome tweeter. Two different brands of speakers will have different tones, as if using the same drive units. The tone of the art equipment depends largely on the listening preferences of the creator. Probably not like to hear different tones of our own equipment, even if the other system sounds much better. This case is so often face, most music lovers do not like the sound of some other system, although a better system. This case is also evident in the purchase or testing new equipment in homes. Sometimes we have a team best test for home, but I feel that there is still some of our own equipment.

I remember very well, when Sony introduced the first player in 20-bits of the CD, most people found it hard, nervous and color. People used to listen to the CD sounds darker than the time and details inside disturbed.

I also remember very well that speakers when I changed my old B & W 801 Matrix II and monitor canceled their protection units, the new sound has concerned me greatly. I was so sorry for curing and could have listened to my system for several days. At this point, the manufacturer has stated that "protection units are necessary because the speakers have been designed mainly for recording studios. "I also said the new sound should be clearly better because of cross-resistance is particularly low in the middle and under the top was reduced considerably. After several days of listening, the sound gets better and better. Finally, the sound was surprisingly perfect after a couple of weeks. In fact, the sound is the same but the perception has changed. (My brain was changing reference)

If so often, to distinguish the best listening device! There are several ways to do this, but for me the main method is the ability of the third dimension. This is not the only case for you, but in general, comparing two units, the higher the sound's biggest book ever higher department.

It is also the theory Pierre Quodrup Audio Note UK and I am one hundred percent agree with him.

The distortion of an electronic device is not affected by the tone of the team, but particularly the effects of internal details. sound department and height are the hidden factors in the interior trim to be the first affected. If the unit to provide less distortion, more accurate sound, particularly department will provide more.

20 – less powerful link in a chain Hi-Fi is a chain. The strength of a chain depends on the ring the less powerful. Suppose a water pipe consists of a variety of widths. capacity leads Water will be in accordance with the thinnest part.

A system must be composed of the same level of equipment. If you add the best album of transport level system level, there will be some changes, but not as expected. Also a digital cable compresses the poor sound quality of all a very good system.

A long-term plan should be established before the creation of a system and the parts must be purchased at the time. Shop quickly can only come from the replacement costs in a year or two.

21 – Do not immediately judge unit, given a chance, each system may sound good in time. Synergy type system is a factor that depends on the time it sometimes takes months or even years. Sometimes quick decisions and quick prejudices good products and make comments Unfair immediately. I think that the main chain is the high-end speaker. If the tone and characteristics of the speakers is usually very good, or if the general tone of the whole system is generally well, the system can be done in several new measures by playing with the cables, settings, places, pipes etc.

22 – The adjustments must be made to listen to criticism or symphonic choir; Once we have determined the main components of our system, we played with the cables, pipes, fittings and other settings to find the desired tone. Tonal balance adjustment system that detects a jazz trio or simple tools can be misleading.

High in the mid and treble bands sound is easily lost if someone is away from the original signal. This is the case, if we listen a live concert or listening to a Hi-end system. If this is the case, instruments such as saxophone, guitar, violin, even a human voice is darker and now, if we listen a very good live album. Every time we increase the mid / treble band system with the settings, these instruments have become more open, detailed and dynamic. But one thing should be that you can add a subtle amount of color without your knowledge. If a system is limited by listening trios or small simple instruments the mono voice, this risk is very great. Such a system can not play classical music played by a full orchestra. If This symphony is heard, the system can be hard and brightness.

It is often said that the system someone plays well in the classics, but it sounds pretty dark in jazz, or some other system is very revealing in jazz, but very bright and glazing to classical music. I think this is the main reason for these phenomena

FIN

Hi-End is a passion that many opportunistic enterprises are added every year despite the high-end Community is not developed enough. The prices are multiplied by 3, 5, 10 seconds each year. Every producer who wants to be one of the best in the world or at least in the price level in particular. review reports prepared by the manufacturer question a few!

No test equipment for today's technology can demonstrate that their claims are true or not the test equipment that can invalidate their claims are false. In no way can compare teams from the other two units and show that it is better then the other. alleged best team in the world of cables are sucking tests blind. If this is the case, it is easy to pretend to be the best in the world because nobody can prove otherwise.

The price of the equipment value may drop to 1 / 3 of the purchase price within a few years by the addition of MK-II MK-III, special editions, and versions Signature

While the best speaker in the world has been sold by 7000? Twenty years ago, the best he is now more than 200,000? A poor line stage is used to decrease the volume sold by 40,000.?

Hi-end technology does not grow for years. Most high-end producers are small family businesses aimed at that niche very little rich. They have no real research and development laboratories. Design and aesthetic properties are priorities.

My strong impression that Hi-End is digging its own grave with that pricing policy. Let's see what happens with Hi-end after 30 years.

There is a deep hole beneath. My recommendation is humble just to start going to the commercialization of second-hand equipment and are made at a reasonable price to minimize the loss of years. Never look into the perfect sound that does not exist on any price. Note that 300,000? Worth amplifier can be better than 2.3% 5000? Value of your little brother.

Yours with great music ..
