Snobby. Thats funny. Its like a car purchase ranked in tiers. Not many people will spend 5k on a system, let alone 100k. In the end it plays music and no more. Hi-fi enthusiast dont listen to music, they listen to the equipment and I have been guity of this many times. Once the honeymoon phase is over on the.equipment, back to music. I keep a few vintage eq to change up sound. But for me, its all about music. If I had unlimted funds, maybe I'll spend alot on it. But right now, I enjoy what I have and its still a pretty penny for sure. I'm listening with Luxman 590AXII with Silverline Sonata II
