What is the current retail cost of your reference system?
It would be interesting to share this as I am not sure some of us understand how decisions are made within the framework of cost and resolution. Please avoid used prices as that muddys the water significantly. Also cabling costs would be revealing as well if willing to share.
@ronboco That's some sweet looking equipment on the Dagostino web page. Makes my poor old Hegel H30s look downright plain. 🤣 |
The retail price of my system (Conditioner + Streamer + DAC + Integrated Amplifier + Speakers) would be about $8,500. Current cabling is an additional $850. I think the only value in knowing how much others have invested in their systems is to better understand their perspective when it comes things they recommend. A budget component is very different for me compared to someone that has $18,000 or $180,000 in their systems. Sometimes I think well meaning advice is given on this forum that simply miss the mark for the person asking because they are thinking about totally different price points. |
