33. SOS High End Audio Support

Let's establish the following: Very few HiFi audio systems are set up in such a way that they can actually demonstrate their considerable performance capabilities. The more expensive the setup, the more sensitive this issue becomes.

Setting up High-End equipment is particularly challenging, as its components are capable of mercilessly exposing every flaw in the system. If you are not 100% satisfied with the sound of your High-End system, even though you have invested a lot of money and set up a special listening room for it, I am confident that I can help you quickly and effectively.

In order to set up High-End audio equipment optimally, we first need to have some listening experience ourselves. This is not about enjoying music, but about the ability to perceive the interaction of a HiFi system in the room. Every setup error has its own specific characteristics: for example, harsh voice reproduction, a blurred phantom center, missing transients, unnatural reverberation, lack of tonal width, or poor bass reproduction.

For this reason, we need a different strategy to fix each individual setup error. In our consultation, I first listen to your description of the system and analyze the challenges you are facing together with you. We then look at the five most important factors that influence the sound of your high-end system:

1. the power source
2. system grounding
3. the setup
4. all connections
5. the listening room

The selection of audio components also influences the resulting system sound, but far less than one might assume. This aspect only becomes interesting once all other factors have been understood and optimized. Only then can you really hear your devices; before that, you mainly hear the weaknesses in your setup.

Component matching is usually offered by retailers and websites, while little time is spent on setting up High-End systems after purchase in-store or online. Customers then usually have to figure out for themselves how to set up their new and expensive equipment. Scrolling through YouTube tutorials mostly raises more questions than it answers.

The goal of our conversation is therefore to improve the performance of your system in a simple and cost-effective way. Afterwards, you will have a better understanding of the current state of your High-End system and be able to assess what steps are necessary to unleash its full sound. I will show you how your system handles energy and how you can transport this to your ears without loss or interference.
