  What made the BIGGEST improvement in your own HiFi system?<br><br>Speakers? Room treatment? Placement? DAC? Power? Or maybe simply slowing down and enjoying the music more?<br><br>Curious to hear your experiences.

  What really matters in Hi Fi is fidelity. If it doesn&apos;t have perfect fidelity it&apos;s not Hi Fi. It might sound great to some old guy, but by definition it&apos;s not Hi Fi. It&apos;s Mid Fi. English is not that hard really.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNwWrFsRf7Y&amp;t=596">9:56</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNwWrFsRf7Y&amp;t=613">10:13</a> you mention &quot;hardware&quot; and &quot;electronic&quot; treatments and then give no examples of these hardware and electronic ways to treat a room and just say &quot;there are all kinds of ways to treat a room&quot; . That&apos;s not really helpful lol. You go on to give examples of your natural way of treating your room with pillows, rugs, and blinds which is great, but I don&apos;t see the point of mentioning buzzwords (I.e. Electronic and hardware ways to treat a room) if they&apos;re not backed up by examples. One to two quick examples of each takes no more than a few seconds.

  &quot;It&apos;s not about owning the most expensive gear...even though I have the most expensive gear&quot;...LOL. I understand the obsession though, as I&apos;m currently going down that rabbit hole!

  Well that is all true, but I wonder why you never speak about a switch or LAN-cables!?

  You&apos;re singing my song. &nbsp;It has been quite a journey.. &nbsp;I have a friend that bought his last piece at least 15 years ago except for replacing wear out items such as tubes and cartridges.

  Another mistake: Listening to youtube reviewers while buying gear.
