A rookie with 10K, seeking advise

@llid2 

Lots of good comments;

1) you are in the learning stage 

2) take you’re time 

3) you need to hear to find out what you like 

4) go to a big city and listen to multiple setups 

5) or/preferred  -Find an audio buddy and go to a Audio Show ( AXPONA? )

    good luck on your journey and have a list of music you like to play 

@llid2 

also , Read the Recommended Lists of the hIFi magazines 

And buy a Stereophile magazine subscription! 

they ratings also give you a price range to help in putting your money down

I'm new to the HiFi world. I listen to a lot of female vocal and classical music. I like both digital and vinyl. I am using a pair of Wharfedale Linton heritage and PS Audio Stellar Strata. 

How did you arrive at ^that^ set up?
- purchased new or used? Or given/loaned to you?

I didn’t read much of this but Used is your way to go. System I’m currently listening to has MSRP of approx 10k. All in I’m like 2k. Other one is Msrp 20k and have 4.5 k into it. If money was no object maybe I would buy new?? Probably not though as I like a deal. 

If I were to go 10k I could put together something world class (ish). Gotta negotiate and be willing to wait and drive several hours of need be.
