@toddcowles The advice was general, nothing specific to you personally and it wasn't an invitation for a financial debate. I am in the business of wealth building so your comments touched a nerve. I can't tell you how many clients I've worked with that thought they were set only to have it all come crashing down. The more we make the more we spend, and it becomes easy to lose scope of what is truly affordable so it's good to put things in perspective with general guidelines. In the grand scheme of things HiFi is small potatoes compared to boats, homes, and worst of all, mistresses. My condolences on the marriage. In all seriousness consider the used market, especially higher end items which are built to last a lifetime. A well researched puchase might be free. The least expensive car I ever owned was a 98 Carerra S.
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
Long story short, I sold my beloved 2-channel to reduce family debt. In about a year-ish, I’ll be in a position to rebuild with a hefty budget. I loved my Harbeth + Pass Labs combo. My REL sub died before I really got to integrate it, so opinions wanted there as well. I fully understand the diminishing margin of returns when moving into some arenas, but that’s ok, opinions are strongly encouraged.
I listen to a lot of Miles Davis/Coltrane, Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Brent Cobb. I’ve often preferred “organic” or neutral, not sure how technical that is.

@perkadin I know, I don’t take these forums too serious, appreciate the condolences. The truly fortunate benefactor, 2-channel. Haha, mistresses…we’re forgetting about “mristresses,” they like getting in the mix as well. The used market is always a wise move and often my first goto. Wow, 98 Carerra S, that’s one to still own! |
