If you were serious about sound you would...


If your audiophile quest is to get the best sound then buy the best equipment used to make the recordings originally. One of the few things nearly every audiophile agrees about is that you can't make the signal better than the original. So:

Solid State Logic 2 channels preamp 5k$
Meyer Sound Bluehorn powered speakers 2x 140K$
Pro Tools MTRX system 10k$
Mac Studio Computer 8k$
Total about 170k$ 
How is it possible to get better sound than the best recording studio gear?

You would not use a Mac computer Waay to much noise with programs in the back ground , your active speakers No thanks far better quality sound from a dedicated amplifier , you want a great reference dac , and SS drive, and dedicated 

 Server . Plus the cables they use in studios are subpar vs good audio.

having owned a Audio store the quality they use in a studio especially cables ,

I tried using these name brand cables in Audio it just restricts the presentation .

for amplifiers,preamp Bricasti has been doing pro audio for 20 years and night and day better then any class D amp stuffed in a speaker Many Top studios use Bricasti also a vacuum tube mixing council like Manley much more natural and just like Tube amps used for guitarists they just sound more natural , All this  is necessary if you want an analog type recording , many new pressing they are bright and just thrown together ,thsts why many older recordings had more life, Care went into the mixing , that’s just my observation ,and opinion .

That list that you mentioned is not high on in any category ,andi have owned a audio store went to many audio shows  and built many audio systems. System 

synergies by far the best important , and many pieces of equipment I have seen in mastering studios is just not that good , for example many use Mugabi Audiocables 

or others it’s not that musical. Now Bricasti is a solidAudio brand that started in mastering studios and is well respected . There are many Loudspeakers -Audiophile that use better quality  Loudspeakers for much less monies. 
Musicality is what counts most ,,the mastering is sometimes. The biggest limitation 

who mixes the recordings . Vacuum tube has always given the most natural

presentation, playing guitar pretty much the vast majority of amplifiers are Vacuum tube , even Vacuum tube mikes Many use .  That’s why many older recordings sounded more natural , the majority of Beatles ,masterpiece Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon , solid state can be verygood , look at Manley again Vacuum tube mixing boards,
