I wish I could regress from ultra high end to start up standards.
i too spent more then a decent home on Audio,and owned a Audiostore for almost 10 years in the U.K before moving back to the states. I have personally
found it exciting and challenging to find the gems in Audio the are very respectable that are within reach of the average working class.
the only obsessive side I cannot quit is open8ng up electronics and Especially Loudspeakers and exposing all the average or less quality parts.
yes even from the top 4-5 brands . I just upgraded my new speakers - monitors
that went for under $2k and spent 3/4 of the price in Top wiring and Xover parts.
The satisfaction in the end results best speakers multiple times the money spent
and even upgrades capacitors in theSubwoofer,with added results.
the most cost effective way to better your Audio system is to replace all your connections , the majority of Amps ,preamps, digital ,even turntables useGold overBrass connections ,which are 4 x less conductive then Copper, and Silver.
there results are moneys very well spent . The difference in sound quality on several levels was increased for minimal cost.I saved on the labor doing it myself.
soldering is the hardest part..you can buy a pretty good 80 wattsolder station for
under $100, buy good solder , rosen flux ,tip tinnier, Cardas, WBT, Johnson’s , Mundorf all at least 4% Silver content , watch a few Utube videos and practice
and end your dependence on simple but costly - labor wise upgrades.
