Do you need an example? After spending a lot of money to exchange my large Onkyo integrated for an Audiolabor Fein phono amp, including Michaelson & Austin TVA1, I couldn't get to grips with the coarse volume control, and couldn't afford a preamp. Mr. Winters obtained a highly-respected Burmeister resistor switch for me at a student price. No surprise, then, that after this, critical distance wasn't a problem. Alfred Rudolph propagated sandwich housing: the author obtained wood and sand, which made a rock-like sculpture from his ATR monitor. It should be mentioned in passing that he later sold it again at a cost-plus-materials price. In the Audio Forum, cables with a diameter of at least 10mm² were introduced: The author bought a drum of 25mm² and drilled it with the energetic support of my understanding girlfriend and a regulated power drill…both of the conductors. And if there was 35 DM left in the student budget, then they were invested in one of the highly sought-after Three Blind Mice LPs which were imported back then.
In my case I can't really deny an initial Audio Forum dependency. But even as a former near-addict then, allow me to make this evaluation: as a customer, there is nothing better for me than the Audio Forum concept. If you've got a sound ideal for your ears, you can get closer to it without unnecessary financial losses, and you will still get competent advice within this model. In times of audio vertigo due to an overabundance of options, the theft of advice, and an unspeakable "stinginess is cool" mentality, such a model seems to me to be extremely important. Fortunately, this is still possible with Hermann Winters and Alfred Rudolph: Here the customer still gets musical solutions and not just equipment.
