In terms of the actual acquisition, which is over a very LONG period of time, the analogy would have to be like Johnny Cash's "One Piece at a Time": "Well its a '49, '50, '51. . ."
which car is sitting in your listening room?
Hello all!
given the expense competent, high value, upper range performing, top flight, and no holds barred SOTA audio systems costs lately, which car in terms of your ssystems overall retail price is waiting for you to rev its engine the next time you fire it up in your listening room?
Ford Escort, Toyota Corolla, Chrysler Mini Van, Camaro Z28, BMW M series, Dodge Viper,Tesla, ‘Vette, Lambo, McClaren, or Bugatti?
Or… ?
where-ever your audio system lands price wise, you choose the relative cost equivalent vehicle as it is now, and or which one you hope to eventually have on the ‘show room’ floor.
Enjoy.

This thread made me think of how important reliability is in an audio system and with cars, and what the cost of repair would be. I don't think I would ever buy a really expensive piece of audio gear or a car without having a good idea of it's reliability. I've been through gear and cars that kept breaking and don't want to go there again, which is why I would be hesitant about buying anything exotic. My friend bought a Porsche Turbo and was paying $900 just for an oil change. There's plenty of audio gear that costs at least that much to ship and perform a simple repair. I went through that with a Meridian processor. |
I could probably have this https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-911-rs-style/ while still only dreaming of this https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-911-carrera-rs-10/ When in reality, as long as we're fantasizing, I would go for the Singer. http://singervehicledesign.com/ |

At full retail, I could have one of these with some change left over: https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1956/austin_healey/100m/100762910 aa With the leftover change, I'd have this one for occasional desert excursions: https://www.ageofglorygarments.com/2018/05/08/build-your-own-triumph-desert-sled-like-the-king-of-cool/ Then again, I could have one of these: https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1214310/1957-jaguar-xk140-for-sale-in-fort-lauderdale-florida-33315 Or, for leisurely Sunday morning jaunts through the canyons, perhaps this: https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1216967/2013-superlite-sl-c-for-sale-in-charlotte-north-carolina-28031 |
