I'm glad that you're enjoying your new system. Perhaps, with time and listening to music, some will learn to better appreciate the humanity of others, and become less concerned with ostentatious displays of wealth, which can seem superficially attractive, but have limited lasting value. I realize that people approach music differently, but I consider music to be an art form that allows humans to appreciate the passage of time, and consequently, realize some of the transient nature of life. A good stereo system can help bring you closer to the artist's and composer's experiences, or it can just be a status symbol to some, which is just a number and a name on paper.
The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!!
My system:
Burmester 232 + Focal Kanta 3s + LTA Aero DAC with upgraded Ray Reserve 6SN tubes+ Wireworld Eclipse 8 cables + Axxess Interconnects
Spent in excess of $50,000 and the sound I am getting is priceless! And my system has not even broken in yet. Thanks to all folks on this forum for their invaluable input.
