Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?

I think some think there is one good sound when there are actual many types of goood sounds that different systems can bring you. 

@frankmc195 we don’t know when to quit. I think I’m at a point where I’m good. Changing one thing can screw up my entire chain and sound now!

@ddgtt +1 that saved me years and thousands. 

@ghdprentice man I’m blessed. I work for Infigo Audio now.  A brand I believe in and makes up my system.  It has allowed me to have this high level system and hours and hours of listening joy.  Doing this is fun not real work. 

Great responses. I think l got to a point where I tried to learn as much as possible then I ramped the spending up more. I was extremely careful with the last 2 purchases. The Infigo method 4 & 6.  But I got to demo first and that was the key. Trying before I buy.  I was able to go amp source cables one company and it worked extremely well!  But you can’t just spend a lot of money and get it right based on cost. 

@skinzy i agree with you. I’m now at that point. Can I get better maybe but at what cost.  I got synergy because of all my electronics gear and cabling are from the same company. Built on eliminating noise and providing clean musical power and music performance.  I have a great speaker that I researched extensively before I bought.  I even saw what other things the designer did before I bought them.  Gato in Denmark. I’m happy. Infigo electronics and cables. Gato Speakers. Rel subwoofers.  Happy! 

@maghister don’t get me wrong.  Improving sound with less money is the key.  But the overall enjoyment at what you can afford is the ultimate goal. 

@mitch4t yes that part all day!

@jafant @jl35 both is perfect. Knowledge and resources. 

@ghdprentice i was sonically destroyed one day by a soulution/raidho system in a soundproof and measured home listening cottage about 8 years ago.  He had it perfectly measures and cabled. Put me in a matrix.  I knew that that s]day they possibilities of audio in the high end. That was a revelation.  Now I’m as happy with what I have as I have been since that day. Money alone doesn’t do it.  Matching, synergy, source, room 

Personally I went with my gear because I felt like the electronics pushed the limits. The design elimates all noise and distortion by design. The Dac literally has min heat sinks between each chip to eliminate heat and distortion. The cable are on  balance all of the spectrum.  It’s detailed without being clinical or analytical. It’s built to be that way so as I learned more about what it did and I demoed the sound I went ahead and went with it at the increased price. It had synergy easily so it’s was worth the extra money and it delivers sound that I can’t wait to get home to.  You can’t randomly throw money in this hobby and get results it takes education and work. 

@noromance i get it. I used to have tube system. I got some nice kt88’s and it was singing even better. I’m pretty set thought at this point. 

@audioman58 thats what I talk about. 50k. Really good synergy sounds as good as 100k.  Easy

@phusis @asctim yes i am at a point to where any changes or upgrades at this point will only minimally improve my sound. I am at a great place right now. I have my system dialed in to how I like it and it aligns with my listening preferences and type of music I listen to.  I find that when you have experience and you gave the money to get what you want then that’s where that knowledge really kicks.  It becomes less improvements and more takeoff the higher you go! 

@benanders we all have different budgets, experiences and mindsets. Get to where you are happy and enjoy the music. 

@vitussl101 the truth is you really got to spend a little to get up to the exceptional gear.  With proper matching it sounds great.
