If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question

Bucis

Damn straight buddy.

I'll ask Kondo San to build 2 pairs of new Gaku-On amps and M10 preamp. Ouch,its $950,000 already.......

Slappy, the question was regarding the $1,000,000 to spend on audio, not that you had only a mere $1,000,000!

I would build an amazing room in which to keep the system. Then I would buy a pair of Kharma Exquisites (I think is the name, there's $130,000 down the tubes). I would have Stan Klyne build me a cost no object pre-amp (there goes another couple of hundred dollars) I would get the Halcro monoblocks. A Sota Millenium TT with an SME 5 arm and a SHelter 901 cartridge. I would have modwright upgrade my Sony SCD-777es with all the whistles and bells (digital really isn't that important to me). All my cable would be Purist Dominus, unless they make a better cable before this windfall.

Then I would have an opening night concert for my friends and have a few of my favorite bands play my favorite song.

I'm glad to see that people are factoring in the room acoustics. Of course you'd have professionally designed custom sound room(s)!

I'd go with the multiple systems. Actually, an all out assault on the SOTA would intimidate me. I'd probably sit, start listening and I'm sure I'd start thinking - "So this is SOTA? Hummmm..." Getting something you've wanted has its own set of built in disappointments, so at least with multi systems you could go to another room when the inevitable doubts start to arise.

Busic, one of my rooms would contain a recording studio. I'd have my favorite artists come over and we'd make some recordings. Also by having a business link all the systems become tax deductible. Hey, I'm rich and in America the rich don't pay taxes.

You have just got to love this country.

And maybe now we should both consider stepping back into reality.

Even if only for the most brief of moments.
