Matching Gear matter to you?


So I had a plan to to go with a single manufacturer for my power amp, line stage and phono preamp. It soothes my OCD but also looks sexy as hell in addition to component synergy. 
That said it was brought to my attention that a different manufacturer has a better component which is also less expensive. My first thought is better and cheaper = do it do it.

Am I crazy? (Probably)

Is my OCD holding me back?

This is a tough one. 

First, use your own ears. 

Next, I have gotten into simplification. I have gone from separates with monoblocks to an integrated + DAC.

I come from a pro movie background so my usual instinct is to pretend I have an 8' rack I will fit everything into. Goddess I wish I could have 3 stereo amps with meter....

I am down to two fabulous components.
