More Tune Method Talk...

Your system Markiteight is an example of what can be achieved by being curious and unconventional.

An enjoyable and very low cost hifi solution that will satisfy many I am sure. :-)

the same absolutely goes for your system beck - impressive what is achievable when taking care of the right things and not just believing the big dollar industry

Thinking even more about this, I think I’ve conflated inharmonicity and pitch. Inharmonicity is the measurable variance from a theoretical ideal and is what gives instruments their timbre. Pitch is a subjective impression of the notes being played on instruments, even when their timbre differs, and is all that really matters. I won’t mention inharmonicity again. Ever.

That is like me saying I will not post anything on this forum ever again! ;-)

Oh, all right then. Just occasionally!

Listen at 32.50. Is that what we seek?

Listening to that clip made me wonder how a sub-$2000 system built using the tune method compares to a system costing in excess of one million(!!!) dollars built using traditional audiophile values. Let's find out:

This is, of course, posted purely for giggles. There are too many variables to make any meaningful comparisons, but I thought it would be fun to see how two systems with a 500x cost gradient, and very different philosophies, compare.

Think I’m a little drowned and lost in this discussion. Has Charlies starting question been answered by now?

Not sure it was much of a question in the end - just a comment about my experience to date.
