Any truth to keeping the retail prices the same ?

........does it make sonic sense to purchase equipment that is all in or around the same price range???? So, your amp costs $5,000 your pre-amp $6,000 and your speakers were also $6,000 and your front end was $5,0000... you get the picture. Is there any truth that this could help with the overall synergy of the system ????? Why I ask I have seen $15,000 speakers here driven with a good intergrated amp, but the retail of the intergrated amp was about $4,000. I don't know as that just does not seem to make any sense.

I'm with rest of the guys - I have a $600 dac into a $1700 integrated amp into $4000 speakers - all hooked up with quality cables.

On the analogue side I use a $229 cartridge in a $2000 turntable - sounds great!

Component Synergy is key - use your ears not your wallet when deciding what to buy!

And if you put some effort into component selection, you'll save some cash for more "stuff"!

This hobby ain't easy - but it can be rewarding :-)
