Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

currently running a $62 Fosi integrated, $149 WiiM streamer, pair of Avalon Ascendants - quite surprised at how good it sounds...and no attention given to placement, acoustics etc ...

Interesting!

I own a Fosi SK01 headphone amplifier with the AKG sextett ...( for my computer use it is not my main headphone amp) I used a Douk P2 tube preamplifierfor the Fosi headphone amp and as pre for my active speakers.. Price 60 bucks too ...

It is so good for peanuts price that i will never upgrade it save with a very high end design headphone amplifier .. Why ?

Because i will be afraid to buy one at 500 bucks compared to this one i paid 60 bucks so good it is...Who want to pay 500 bucks for a marginal upgrade or just changing 4x 25 cents for a dollar...

Here i will upgrade it only with something very high end at more than 1000 bucks..😊

And anyway in upgrade process all gear pieces must pertain to the same quality design/price scale generally speaking... No one use generally a 200 bucks tube in a 25 dollars tube amp...

But there is exception to this rule as your short interesting post reveal : the Avalon ascendant driven by a 62 bucks amp with success it seems ... 😊

Aren’t you from a rich country called Canada man? You should be able to afford 3k or 4k every few years, at the least? If you are from Sudan or Guatemala and said you can’t afford much, I’d believe you.

Are you from an arrogant country where you take the right to lecture people about their goal, needs and budget and about what they like to do in life?😁

Have you read my question ?

Or your pleasure instead of answering it clearly is just to throw a veiled insult to all people happy with a relatively low cost system ?

My basic system is a TOP amplifier from Sansui one of their best model and the best headphone ever designed by AKG ...

Perhaps price tag can give you an audiophile erection but not me, i prefer my own way...

And you came and think that you can patronize me about my room acoustics, my modified speakers and my system because it is homemade at peanuts cost ?

 I am not alone here happy for such or such reasons, guess what type of people will patronize them speaking as you just did ?

😊 Yes you make me smile ....

I wish you pleasure ...

Great music does not have to be expensive. Price to me, is a silly metric to use for reference. Heart & ears does a much better job :-) Here is a video made to inspire:

We ain’t arrogant, we just have some scary thugs like the CIA who operate beyond our democratic reach and can target the immense riches of stingy rich countries. 😂

On a different note, you’ve been at this forever... long before this thread started. It’s OK to enjoy barrel bottom speakers and convince yourself psychologically that nothing else is better, but, cmon man, atleast get a subwoofer...Next thing i’ll hear is that it’s somehow more nirvana without it. ...But, on that same note, you’ve been praising BACCH for ages now on all kinds of threads. Did you buy it eventually? Or still theorycrafting? Is Trudeau asking the Canadians to claim they’re poor again, as they stash away their immense riches whilst living in fear of big daddy by the border? Bwaaaahahaha
