What is relative audio quality level?
My audio system
- Marantz CD player CD 94 modified
- Wadia 1000 Digimaster x64 external DAC converter
- Preamplifier Model 4
- Valve amplifier Conrad Johnson MV75
- Speaker Apertura Nova modified
- Plug Filter
- 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.

Who I am?
Eric Juaneda, I study electronic in France, Lycee alphonse Benoit in l'Isle sur sorgue.
I design audio equipment since 1988. During many years, I work for high end audio reseller, and design audio equipment (Audio Technologie).
Now, I work for computing.
When I don't work on electronic, I spend my time to shoot, I invite you to visit my photographic web site
http://eric.juaneda.com,
playing GO game, and above all, listening (baroc) music. I dedicate a web site on a great and forgotten last baroc music composer
Johann Adolf Hasse (in French language only).

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...
