Living the audiophile life.

Couldn't agree with you more about diminishing returns. Marginal cost is another way to look at it. I'd say the NAD stuff boosted my system 25 percent over the old Arcam gear. How much is the next 10 percent going to cost? $5,000? Enough for a serious set of speakers? Probably.

Interesting to note that I am the only person I know who has any kind of serious set-up. I run with a fairly fast-lane, yuppie-ish, New York crowd. (Although one that has been slowed by the arrival of children.) Everyone listens to Alexa or plugs their phone into something. If these people don't care about sound . . . 

Note that I've already declared many "advances" to be the end of civilization. I believe that texting is the main culprit. And granted that the audio industry is doing everything possible to drive these people away. But you'd think that somebody would care.

Is it possible to send you messages or replies right from the discussion?

Haha, no worries. Yeah the Agon messaging feature isn’t as slick as some other sites, that’s for sure. 

As you go up the ladder in sound quality, no doubt each further improvement costs more $$ than the last. 

Many would say we’re crazy to keep chasing it
