I am with Timrhu. I love music and want it to sound good but am not willing to sell the house and have always leaned toward value. I have tweaked a pair of PSB Bronzes with new capacitors and, when the left metal dome tweeter blew, I replaced it with a Vifa ring radiator tweeter which has been a step up. Have added a local built tubed preamp to my marantz amps and plan to do no more. I love jazz and classical and vocals and most everything else. I want it to sound non fatiguing and reasonably realistic but believe the laws of diminishing returns kick in early.
what kind of audiophile are you ?
since it is obvious that a boom box or car radio is all that is necessary for most people to enjoy music, hobbyists have other objectives.
as i see it, there are three types of audiophiles:
1) equipment fanatics
2) compulsive pursuers of accuracy
3) aesthetic appreciators of instrumental timbre
i am type 3) person, which one are you ?
