People spend thousands of dollars on stereos. Sometimes tens of thousands. There is a specialist industry right here in the States which builds stereo gear to a standard you wouldn't believe. Tubed amplifiers which cost more than a house. Speakers taller than me. Cables thicker than a garden hose. Some army guys had that stuff. I'd heard it on bases around the world. Wonderful. But they were wasting their money. Because the best stereo in the world is free. Inside your head. It sounds as good as you want it to. As loud as you want it to be.Lee Child
About This Quote
There are certain things that are free. One of these is your own personal stereo system. For example, all the audio equipment inside your car is not paid for by the manufacturer. This means you can buy a stereo system in any price range.
You don't need to spend thousands on a high-end system if you don't want to. The quality and quantity of sound produced by a stereo system is dependent on its components and the quality and quantity of the air around it. Therefore, even though free doesn't always mean best, having a high-quality sound system installed in your home or vehicle will make the difference between an enjoyable listening experience and one that is simply tolerable.
