From the Batmobile to highend electronics

A long time ago , I saw a Ford Mustang with so much added equipment ( foillers , deflectors , etc )
that It was looking like the Batmobile ( vintage series )
I remember saying that with all the money , he spent on this Mustang , he could have bought a Corvette.

I was reading today about Synergistic Reseach Galileo Gound Block : 7 K $ ... The torture never ends.
https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/synergistic-research-galileo-sx-ground-block/

Then I tough :I have bought a good system.Then I added a power conditioner. I added Nordost power bar . I added Nordost QRT 1 and QRT 2 , many of them. I added Schumann Wave Generators , etc.
I was thinking to add Nordost QKore 3.

If I would have take all that money, I could have bought the flagship integrated amplifier rather than the little brother.

My question is ; all those added gears , do they bring you system near a top level one with all the money spent ?
Or is it wasted effort. Diminutive returns .
My system looks more and more like the equipment in the Batcave.

I think , I am not the only one who is easyly seduced by the pseudo
magic of ´´ tweaking ´´ gears . The less you understand the specifications , the  more extraordinary , they appears.  Being  more and more lazy , I pay with Credit Card and it is delivered at home . Room treatment implies more work . More trial and error. Unless you hire a professionnal to do it. It looks less ´´ high tech ´´
A good and simple system in a well treated room. Nothing less  , nothing more . That’s it.   A mullet will never be a horse . Even with the best  horsehoes.But  beware of the siren’s  call

Very good question which i cannot answer...Save for myself....


My system is low cost, all my devices are homemade....

The reward is great....

I will read with interest all opinions or experiences about that balance between additions to the system/ versus upgrades...

Personaly i stick with what i have, which is relatively good, to drive it at his working peak S.Q. without upgrades....

But if i had the money perhaps i would have been different in my approach....One thing is sure i interpret now my lack of free money for my audio dream to be a luck more than a limitation....I would have discovered nothing.... It is more easy to buy than figure out a solution....

My best to all.....

Do not give fish
But teach how to fish.(or  learn by yourself ) 

You have not paid others , to do what you were able  to achieve.
This is great
