Hey guys, Old Jay has a high end audio channel.There are guys out there who buy this kind of stuff and people like me who are curious to see what this gear looks like. I’m sure any of you, like me would like to hear some of this stuff. Isn’t that the fun of this hobby always striving for better sound. Tell me you guys don’t care to look at dream sport cars. I suppose you guys all enjoy the cheap audio man’s website, sure you do. As to how he gets the stuff who gives a rat’s ass. A year or so ago anyone who told me electrical would make a difference I might have considered a bit touched. So I upgraded to # 10 wire and audiophile receptacles. Quess what something changed. Now if I told you bigger sound stage or more clarity you would probably say great imagination but it wasn’t that. My speakers that never had much bass suddenly had a lot more. Thought my sub was on but it wasn’t. Got some buddies over and without saying a word they noticed the improved bass.Now maybe you can’t measure that but I sure as hell heard it. If you think about it receptacles cost about 85 cents a piece. These receptacles I bought had a lot more to them and actually took a good grip on the prongs of the plugs. Even hospitals don’t use cheap receptacles.Going to my first hi end show this summer. Going to listen to all the high end stuff I can. Quite certain I can’t run out and buy it but if it sounds a lot better than anything I have I will continue upgrading my own stuff. What’s the fun in this hobby if your ever really satisfied with what you’ve got. If that’s the case I’d give it up.
The realm of supercars mirrors the audio hobby in interesting ways. Take those jaw-dropping $4 million, 2000-horsepower beasts, for instance. Despite their astronomical power figures, they often find themselves outclassed on the track by more modestly priced yet impeccably engineered counterparts like the Porsche GT2 or GT3.
It's a scenario reminiscent of high-end audio systems. Just as Pagani, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, and Lamborghini can be eclipsed in lap time records, some of the most expensive speakers get outperformed by their more thoughtfully engineered, reasonably priced counterparts in blind tests. The essence lies in real-world performance, where promises of speed, downforce, or audio fidelity are put to the test on the track or in carefully controlled listening environments.
In both the automotive and audio worlds, the price tag often takes a back seat to objective performance. The true measure of excellence lies in meticulous engineering and how well a car navigates a track or a speaker reproduces sound, rather than the prestige associated with a hefty price. It's a pursuit where the thrill of the ride or the beauty of the sound triumphs over mere brand names or extravagant price tags.

Delusional audiophiles undermine their own arguments when they start to discussing cars in an attempt to rationalize their purchases.
