AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?


What do you y’all think? I have 30k into my system and I recently attended AXPONA 2018. I compared what I heard to what I have. I felt my system compared to the 80 to 100k systems quite well. Matching is important. Also your reference point. Any thoughts yall?

My Lyngdorf 2170 powered dac and room correction piece is miles ahead of gear made 20-40 years ago.  It’s fine to like vintage gear and I get that, but to say there have been no advances is certainly not accurate. Room correction as developed by Lyngdorf is a game changer and just one example of sound improvement not possible years ago.  
We have to remember that many music lovers have their sound systems in living rooms enjoyed by entire families and a spouse with no chance of any of those room treatments ever going up.  With this fact in mind one does have to pick gear that fits the space in every way. Digital room correction is a must and some like Lyngforf do it so well one does not have to be overly corcerned with all manner of room tweaks that would not be allowed in or on the room.
