Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?

My audio system total $ = ca. $1,500

But, I can enjoy music better than my neighbor who owns B&W and etc.

Why, I do have one more very high end part, my brain's selective filtration function.

What is the function? It selects good part of sound produced from a mediocre audio system, and filters bad parts (noise, 3rd harmony high frequency, etc) out.

As long as I maintain the function in my brain, I do not need high end audios.

Please, try to develop the function instead of wasting your money.

r27y8u92 -- I pursue high-end audio because listening to high fidelity is such a viscerally rewarding experience. It's pure pleasure, something that seems to be an anathema in your world view. Yeah, I could survive on gruel, too, but I don't.

@r27y8u92 I (and lots of others) can put together a system for $1,500 that produces very fine audio. But I don’t - anymore :)

Amps turn smaller signals into larger signals.

Wire transmits electrical signals.

All else, is Room/Speakers and your brain.. Just like Space/Time. Senseless to talk about one without the other.

Go Polk!!
