Matching Gear matter to you?


So I had a plan to to go with a single manufacturer for my power amp, line stage and phono preamp. It soothes my OCD but also looks sexy as hell in addition to component synergy. 
That said it was brought to my attention that a different manufacturer has a better component which is also less expensive. My first thought is better and cheaper = do it do it.

Am I crazy? (Probably)

Is my OCD holding me back?

I'm going to cover all of my gear with Astro Turf to see if I prefer "matched" components...I'll be reporting back.
Quicksilver is high value to $$$ ratio in my opinion.   I love my Mid Monos.   They kick ass!!!   DEAD silent into 99dB sens speakers...  i am talking complete dead silence. Super reliable and sound fantastic with any output tube you choose.  I would buy another QS product without hesitation.
