What will audiophiles do Different?

I wouldn't go near a turntable or a vinyl LP. 

I'd give class D amps a much closer look.

I'd give multiple subs more consideration in my 2-channel rig.

I'd attempt to build a system that would only stream music or play back only file based music...no cd's, tapes or vinyl.

I started at warming up gear, realizing changes, hearing differences, buying $200 cartridges, etc...when I was 15 years old (in the late 70’s). So, change anything? Probably nothing.

Oh yes, age 15, bought the Shure M97HE cartridge. First in a long a long run of expense problems, one might say. (today they would call that a ’line contact’ stylus profile, at 0.2x15 mil)

Run of the mill pioneer stuff, with a Technics direct drive table. But I could sure as heck hear the difference that stylus was making with records....

Then it spun out of control.

I am much the opposite of a few others it would seem. I would spend as little on digital as possible and put the money saved into further improving my analog front end and phono preamp. 

Do I get to keep all the accumulated experience and hard-won knowledge from missteps and wrong turns?  If so, I could save myself a bundle of $$.

Spent more on speakers as a percentage of my overall system investment.
