[Audiophiliac]

What type of Icer are you guys

Type 1: The system consist of
1. Good Fancy Multi Function HU,
2. Good Processor or outboard cross over (with hundreds ways of tuning & tweaking)
3. 3 or more front drivers + Subs
4. More than 1 amps (dedicated channels for each drivers)
5. All of the Power enhancemennt and optimization eq
6. Specific and predetermined Interconnect and Cables
5. Damping off course include

Type 2.
1. HU only care on CD & DAC capabilities
2. A good Comp speakers 9same brand and series) with passive xover + Sub
3. A good Amp able to powered all the drivers (or 2 amps but no more than that)
4. A good Cable & Inteconnect

I am asking this due to I am contemplating on what I am next to be. At first I Plan & currently work on to be Type 1 but now kind of lean to be type 2.  ??

[netken]

[Audiophiliac]

[fooyc]

Type-Z,

Any system that I will njoy my music/cds to my heart extent.

[llsaw]

Well said Bro!

Being Type 1 allows you to fine tune it until the cows come home... good for most of us as we always want to find ways to get more.

Type 2 allows you to sit back and enjoy the music more... once you get it right.. it is right and not much to tweak.

However, most people being a type 2 previously when starting out, changing to be a type 1 is attractive as you feel there are more ways which would be easier to get your system to sound better so you start to buy this and that to achive it. But in the end, in terms of effort required, type 1 and 2 needs about the same amount of effort but type 1 can be more rewarding and cause more problems...

I have always been a Type 2 person. I want to enjoy, I dnot want to work alot on my setup. Some simple matching equipments is all Iam asking for.  O0

[convict]

Type R....can go very faster.

sorry sorry..dont mean to kacau the topic

I go for Type 2 anytime. I rather spend all the money on really good HU, Amp and comp. less tau tiar...

[wengweng]

I started off with passive and simple setup (sort of like type 2). Then go active (like type 1). Eventually back to more simple setup. I think the more simple the better. The less equipment the better. An icer may want to go through the process to appreciate the good and the bad of each system

[cbkhoon]

i am with type 2

[Audiophiliac]

Now start contemplating again haiyoo home audio much easier wooo

[17Ters]

Audiophiliac,

Like everyone here said, there are good and bad with both types. It very much depends on you and your overall aims. Like I said, Iam always been a Type 2 person and I wanted the setup to be as simple as possible without spending too much time on tuning and also money. So I set out and work on what I needed. Then when that is achieved, its time to tutup kedai, lean back and enjoy.

Iam sure you are in this hobby longer than Iam.

Type 2.... insert cd, listen, tweak a bit...then drive! That's me...

[llsaw]

Coming from a home audio background I'm really not into tuning but have learnt a lot of that from ICE 

[Vegatron]

don't want to spend so much money and time burning petrol to tune... get to car.. start engine.. put CD.. drive...

I am a type of:

i. Optimizing my system, tuning, increasing efficientcy, learning new tricks on installation.
ii. Always thinking what to do or what to add to make my system better.
iii. Does not believe super expensive equipment will make a perfect system.
iv. Do like to show off sometimes, especially on the traffic light with windows down and volume up.
v. Does not like the car next to me is louder than mine or better sounding.

Does that makes me strange????

[Audiophiliac]

stranger but stranger to us
