AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?

What do you y’all think? I have 30k into my system and I recently attended AXPONA 2018. I compared what I heard to what I have. I felt my system compared to the 80 to 100k systems quite well. Matching is important. Also your reference point. Any thoughts yall?

High priced audio gear is just a trophy for high rollers! If you've got it, flaunt it!

Myself, I collect and use the best vintage gear from the Golden Age of High End - 1965 - 85! That was when the most innovative (and affordable!) stuff was made! Since then prices have only risen for NO real advances in sound quality!

The guy with $10k invested probably thinks the same about yours.

I've long ago given up on the idea that price is always related to performance.

If you are true to your ears and heart, you can spend a lot less than others to be happy.
