For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.

@ghdprentice

My current system consists of:

Pass Labs XA-30.8 amp

JJ 243 tube preamp

Pro-Ject X2 turntable with Hana SL MC cart

Gold Note PS-10 and PSU-10 phono preamp

Naim CD5SI

Bluesound Node 2i with Topping D70S DAC

Chapman T7 loudspeakers (recently rebuilt/upgraded by Stuart Chapman Jones himself - it was a special experience hanging out with him listening to music when I picked up my speakers)

RAMM Audio OCC speaker cable, interconnects and power cables.

Custom audio rack and isolation bases (made by me)

How we get by the wife acceptance factor? Simple I buy her a really extravagant present. Then wait a few days and announce I am buying something. Then no problem.

@inna  lol I love my sub zero as well! Speed queen  washer and dryers are worth the extra as well. In many ways very similar  to hifi  you buy things that are ment to last a long time not to be junked after a year or two. 

If you are worth millions then $100k is reachable without any thought. . $$$$$ is in the ears of the beholder.  Whatever makes you happy is what matters.  There is a different world I cannot imagine. I heard 50k speakers that could not compete with my DYI speakers. No contest.   I expected the other way around. Not! $$$$ do not always equal sound accuracy or overall dynamic sound quality.

I have well over $100K in my main system and many more $$ in my surround systems.  I’m not bragging. I’m 68 years old and have been into audio since I was 4 years old.  To me, one of the most important components,if you want to call it that, is your room.  I can’t stress this enough.  You can have a fabulous system, but if the room can’t do it justice, you may as well have a boom box.  It took me years to learn this and I’m still working on it, although not as much as I used to.  I’ve reached the point where I enjoy listening-not trying  to make it better.  Good square footage, higher ceilings and absorbers and diffusers are the key. A $5K system can sound better than a $100K system, if your room is not compatible. Do research about proper room dimensions, absorption and diffusion and implement it and you’ll be way ahead of the game.
