What do you care about in this hobby?

+1 @jsalerno277 Couldn’t have said it better.  The only important element I would like to add right behind SQ is:

- Discovering new music in a convenient easy manner.  

High quality streaming has really changed the game for me.  No more costly physical media to buy, store and discard . 

I've been into audio for decades and it all matters to me. It's a passion.

1. sound/enjoyment, it has to move me.

2. Price as it can be tided directly to #1

3. aesthetics, the other half has to approve.

4. Synergy, finding out this is very important, separate from value, money spent.

My setup is vintage, sans my streamer, so there has never been any support. Fully rebuilt my speakers, amp and pre-amp last year, hoping they last another 50 years without being touched. 

Also the itch is never scratched, have been thinking about new speakers, turntable, streamer....

Experiencing End Sound produced by an audio systems interaction with Speakers.

I have a selection of Speakers and will add to the selection increasing the options.

Additional to this I have a variety of of Analogue Sources and a Digital Source > A selection of Amp's - 3 x Phonostages (soon 4x) - A Pre Amp being commission Built to supply SS and Two Different Valve Types - Other Pre' Options - PP Valve Power Amp's - SET Valve Power Amps - A recently loaned to the System Neurochrome SS Power Amp' - ESL Speakers and different Cabinet Design Speakers.

I am not Wed to any one End Sound and there is not a End Sound I produce that is any lesser than another, when created with the permutations of audio equipment readily at hand. 

Musical Enjoyment.

Happy Listening!
