What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?

High end is a relative term.  I cannot relate to those who spend $30K or more on an audio or A/V system.   So for me with my modest budget and a/v system costing less than $5k including TV and cabinet it was an Onkyo 6050 receiver at Costco for less than $500.

Parasound A23+ power amp to replace a decades-old A23.  Unexpected and very welcome improvements, including more detail, bass extension, and slam that I didn’t know my otherwise somewhat clinical Athena AS-F2s were capable of.

Almost all of my equipment is les than 6 months old, but the two pieces that hit WAY above their price point: Denafrips Pontus II DAC (especially with Iris DDC), and Buchardt Audi S400 MkII speakers…..amazing value audio equipment 

Several Cardas clear beyond power cords to replace the oem ones to my amps...yes I can hear a clear difference for the better

System synergy is a variable and bespoke thing.

I so far have recently migrated my entire system interconnect cables array to new CARDAS CLEAR interconnects, and upgraded to new mix of CARDAS CLEAR / CARDAS GOLDEN REFERENCE power cables.

The last missing piece (and currently a WIP) in my Yellow Brick Road to Audio Oz, is an upgrade to one of its stablemate CARDAS CLEAR or CARDAS CLEAR REFERENCE speaker cable models.
