I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go?


I have my system sounding pretty good now with a wide sound stage and good depth and imaging. I hear faint details that I have never heard in songs before. It took me three amps, two CD players, two sets of speakers and room treatments to get where I am. But the rabbit hole being what it is....I can't help but wonder....do I have the best it can be? I've been to brick and mortar, high end audio stores, but they don't really have listening rooms. Do any of you know of a place that has a good selection in stock that also has a good listening room to try them out? I would like to hear what is considered "the best". I would like a yard stick to use to determine if I'm getting everything out of the recordings that I can get. Even if it is thousands of dollars outside of my budget, I would like to know what I'm chasing.

This thread has me imagining a world where people competitively compare audio systems the way hot rodders would race for pink slips.
You could just loudly proclaim that your system is the best ever and wait for folks to come out of the woodwork offering to prove you wrong.
Did anyone mention PS Audio Music room 2 yet?  In all of Paul’s YouTube videos he tells people to come on by.
