What is Your End Game System?


How do you "measure" your end game system? Is it by budget, how much it cost? Is it by the luxuriousness of your build and room?

Is it by your components being either state of the art or unobtanium? Is it by the satisfaction you get when you are sitting in your listening chair?

What is your end game system and how do you know when you have reached it?

@rvpiano , can you post your system in your profile? Like to check it out, Thanjs

@rvpiano , my bad, it didn't load properly first time I looked. Those speakers look like they must throw a huge soundstage. I have seen those Tritons in a lot of reference systems in the by lines of reviewers. Same with the Cambridge streamer and Benchmark DAC. How long did it take to assemble everything and dial it in? Looks like every component is at the top of Stereophiles recommended list. Nice job

I honestly never consulted Stereophile’s list. It took me about 2-3 years once I decided to begin a major upgrade.
Funny story: The only reason I obtained the Benchmark amplifier is as a stopgap measure after my original monoblock amps stopped working and were out for repair.  Just picked it at random with no thought in mind. I never intended to keep it, intended to return it.  Then, I listened to it.  Major game changer.  That’s what I mean by dumb luck.  Otherwise, I bought and returned various components until I got the synergy right.

@rvpiano , it might seem like luck but at some level your gut must known that amp would be a sleeper. Nice  job!
