HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?


I want to know for those who have arrived got their best system together. What is the story behind how you ended up with your gear and will you be happy for a long time with it.

@mswale we give free trials on Infigo cables. Let me know.  I’m glad you are enjoying your journey. Keep building.  Yes good sound is like a drug. I’m now tapping my vein as we speak. Lol! 

Having been retired for over 4 years now, I recently just decided to go for it. My reasoning is that life is way too short, and my hearing is still good enough to enjoy and justify the financial investment. This year I upgraded my speakers, integrated amplifier, CD transport, power conditioner, audio rack, and also added bass traps. My “End Game” system is not my dream system and is modest when compared to many of the amazing Virtual Systems on Audiogon, but I feel that I have finally achieved sonic contentment which has been eluding me all these years. I can’t peel myself away from my system and it’s paying huge dividends right now during our typical dark and damp Pacific Northwest winter.

  • @mksun one thing I have learned is my music brings me joy. Also you can achieve your dream sound . Yes I gave an expensive system. My speakers are 14k my dac is 35k. My amp 20k streamer 5k subs (2) 4k each. 10k cabling. Around 90k. But you still can get a very pleasing sound being smart and knowledgeable.
