What is Your End Game System?

My endgame system would be Linn Klimax DSM Organik with aktiv exakt into Hegel amps powering Blade One meta. In a custom build room.. And a second system with MBL speakers. Nordost Odin cables everywhere.

A custom build room would be a great start. Sigh...

The closest I have gotten to a custom built room was moving from a condo where you can never "unleash the beast" to a house where noise complaints aren't an issue. In the back of my room I have too much open space but found moveable acoustic panels and other work arounds that were the best compromise I could find. That will be a great goal though, to move up to a custom built theater/room.

Unleashing the beast is sometimes more important than a perfect room with golden ratios and treatment. I am happy that my current house is free standing and no neighbours to complain. Nothing beats +90db of Gojira 🤘

I like the race car analogy.

To make it faster and better there are hundreds or thousands of elements.

As with a stereo system.

Can a destination system be attainable? Or will “audiophilia” prevent this?

In retirement, my system has become central. 4 hours of vinyl and 4 hours of 2 channel HT. Cool “job”.

Recently “coming home” to Quad 57s, there is a search for the “right” amp.

This also brought up upgrading my analog front end.

The end is not quite in sight, but maybe close?

FWIW, I just added the before and after calibration measurements of my system in my profile/virtual system if anyone is interested. The calibration software was the paid upgrade for Audyssey Pro license and the necessary calibrated mic which is on a totally different level than the software and mic that comes with the unit when you buy it.
