A true believer

I like to look at the pictures and descriptions of the various systems belonging to our fellow Audiogon members. Personally I admire the most humble system. But some times I see one that just leaves me shaking my head in amusement.

I was looking at the featured systems today and found one that consisted of three components that reproduced music. A cd player ($7700), a integrated amp. ($4000), a pair of speakers ($10,500). Total $22000. A very nice system. But, and I mean BUT, another $71,431 in cables, tweaks, stands. Things that sometimes in the tiniest increments help in the reproduction of music.

Just saying.

Onhwy61,
Yes, I don't like yours. I like mine better, I made better choices, you should have bought what I bought. But, since your signature indicates a liking of Bob Dylan, I'll give you a seal of approval just the same.

Who cares ? It is the monies of this particular individual (as it is with all of us), and he/she can spend it any way he or she chooses. And if this individual hears and appreciates it all, so be it. That's high end audio for ya ! FYI, one of my "secondary" systems is based around a very clean and functioning NAD 3020 amp, and the amp is the least expensive part of the system. Now I know I can upgrade the amp ( and actually have other amps, amp/pre amps around I can use ), but instead I have opted to upgrade other parts of the system. So what ! Just my two cents....Thank you

If you sent 3 people into an audio shop with a selection of equipment and asked them to put a system together, I would put my money on none of them ending up with the same system. Cables are the same. And they are all right of course, assuming that you are looking at it from their point of view.

I bet you drive down the road commenting on the wheels in people's driveways. Personally, I don't know why everyone doesn't drive a pick-up truck. I'm just saying. ;-)
