Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?

This is something that wanted to ask folks. Initially I said I would never spend x amount of dollars in this audio journey. 20 years later I’m here and did what I said I wouldn’t but I’m happier than ever. Best system to this date. But it wasn’t about money only. I gained knowledge on what was possible and the quality and design of the gear I wanted. I see people just throw money into audio and never be happy or satisfied. I think that happens because they don’t think for themselves as well as have the resources? Thoughts ?

I’ve been at this hobby for 55 years. I built my first amp, a Dyna 70, when I was 14. 
 

I was born on the wrong side of the tracks. So I’m a cheap rat bastard.
 

I believe the system I have built up over the years stands up to 98% of the stuff out there.

I started down this path when I built a Dyna Stereo 70 at the age of 14.


I am 69 now. I’ll be writing about the journey for this group sometime soon but not today.

My system design can be found at the bottom of the page link below.


The law of diminishing returns applies. I spent more than most, and nowhere near as much as some. I think that it compares well to systems costing up to 10 times as much.

Component matching and room treatment are critical.
