You don\u2019t know what you got until it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where I\u2019m at now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the last couple months or so I\u2019ve had our product(s) in my system doing evaluation and just making sure, \u201cDo these things work.\u201d\u00a0 During this time, I\u2019ve really noticed that I am over all just really enjoying my system.\u00a0 More so then I ever have.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m sitting down and critically listening to something new or busy doing stuff around the house (*cough* like making cables for others *cough*) or just having some streaming radio station playing.\u00a0 Remind me in another post to tell you about Buddha Bar streaming radio.\u00a0 Anyways, no matter what, there was a musicality, a \u2018rightness\u2019, a \u2018relax-ness\u2019, and \u201ceasy-to-listen-to\u201d (-ness) that I didn\u2019t realize was there and just happening.<\/p>\n
Why?!?<\/p>\n
Because you don\u2019t know what you got until it\u2019s gone\u2026\u00a0 and that\u2019s what has happened.\u00a0 Through needing cables to send out to people, to let friends test and see what we have been up to, to making changes and needing a \u2018standard\u2019 cable to demo against.\u00a0 Slowly, one by one (sometimes two by two) the cables have left my system.\u00a0 And in their place, I\u2019ve put back the cables I had once thought were some great cables.\u00a0 And really, they are.\u00a0 I have both custom-built cables using off-the-internet (OTI) pre-built wire and just slapping some decent ends on them to three or four manufacturers that really do make great cables.\u00a0 So, the system has been slowly reverting to what it was before we took on this adventure.<\/p>\n

I just now realized I was writing all this without music playing\u2026. what was I thinking?\u00a0 *click* play<\/em>\u2026. ahh much better.\u00a0 I was wondering why it seemed so quiet.\u00a0 Sorry, I thought this funny enough to just write this in here as it happened.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where was I?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh yes\u2026 My system is now sounding like what it was before all our cables were landing in the system.\u00a0 And you know what\u2026 it isn\u2019t the same.\u00a0 Does it sound good?\u00a0 Would anyone really complain?\u00a0 Can I really hear the difference?\u00a0 I think the answer is \u2018yes\u2019.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like my system is un-listenable however, it\u2019s also not as enjoyable.\u00a0 I\u2019m much more aware of the things that are missing, like the dynamics in instruments, the depth of sound stage, the pinpoint placement of instruments or sounds in that sound stage, as well as a slightly narrower sound stage, and the blackness.\u00a0 The void in between all the instruments that has a feeling like it\u2019s trying to suck sound into that vast and deep void.<\/p>\n I miss all that.<\/p>\n Which means that now, we (Finley Audio) must build another set of cables for my system.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because, I now know it\u2019s worth the cost to have these cables in my system.\u00a0 When people talk about next level\u2026 this is what I imagine they mean (in reality) versus how I think it\u2019s taken by most people.\u00a0 It\u2019s a change in one\u2019s system that is very noticeable and for the better.\u00a0 It\u2019s one, that when you revert to how things were before\u2026 you know you can\u2019t go back there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And so, let the building begin!\u00a0 Because I believe in what we have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You don\u2019t know what you got until it\u2019s gone.
