If you could buy any system, regardless of price, what would it be?

ok so i will pull a millercarbon here...

click my username and look at the system/gear

there’s your answer op... :)

actually, not quite, there are about 5 systems’ worth of gear there... but you get the idea...

affordability of gear isn’t at issue... building the new house with the properly spec’d music room was many many many times more than the sum total cost of all the gear

If I had all the money to spend on gear, but NOT all the money to spend on a house....

I'd go for something small.

I think a lot of audiophiles will get extremely anxious if they had to pick the one system they cannot change forever.

Probably this one:

Simply put, both systems were exceptional in every way, definitely humbling my own $50k system.

’almost’ fully enjoy’. stop reading!

once you reach a certain level, as you have, and I have as well, I buy more music, try new genres,

Add some format you don’t have, i.e. Reel to Reel; LP

Add a function/feature you don’t have,

I will probably change my tube amp to provide safe easy external bias adjustment.

i.e. I was DONE, now, not too long after, I will probably squeeze a 3rd tonearm onto my TT plinth to re-install MM replaceable stylus so I can reduce the hours on my MC when playing/testing old LPs after cleaning, playing fun but not spectacularly recorded content, new or old.
