What is relative audio quality level?
My audio system
- Micro Seiki CD-M2 and Marantz CD 94 modified
- Jundac DAC
- Preamplifier Juniline 5
- Valve amplifier Conrad Johnson MV75
- Speaker Focal Electra 1028 Be-2
- A place in Avignon's opera or other music festival
Listening test conditions
I observe this step before listening test :
- Listening after 48 hours heating (1 hour for vacuum tube devices),
- Listen to different music, (Classic, Jazz, Modern) essentially baroc music with voice (Handel, Hasse...),
- If it's possible, confirm listening conclusion on other audio systems,
- Try to confirm impress few days later,
- Compare electronic realization with high end manufactured audio devices.

What is relative audio quality level?
Relative audio quality level gives approximation on audio quality of a product. The scale is divided in 5 levels.
Level 1 - First audio system, integrated and small size. Standard computer products...
Level 2 - First Hi-fi system. Not expensive and most popular audio system...
Level 3 - High-end audio starting system. First separated pre-amplifier - amplifier...
Level 4 - High-end audio systems, great musicality, high reliability, products of legend...
Level 5 - Excessive and out of price product. Absolute and nuts systems...
