I can totally relate to what you’re saying. Achieving that level of satisfaction, especially with room treatments in place, is a milestone many audiophiles strive for but don’t always reach. As impressive your existing system is, I can understand your curiosity about Galle might bring to the table. That curiosity is the hallmark of a true audiophile—always exploring the potential for even greater refinement and connection to the music.
I can’t praise HIJIRI cables enough, they were one of the best purchases in my audiophile journey. Cables can make a surprising difference, revealing subtleties and enhancing the synergy between components.
It’s also worth noting how important room treatments are in getting the most out of high-end gear. They often make as much, if not more of a difference than a component upgrade. With that foundation already in place, you’re perfectly positioned to hear every nuance a new addition like the Galle might bring.
Looking forward to hearing how it turns out if you decide to take the plunge!
