Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!

My audiophile journey has extended to over 40 of adventurous sonic delight. Over the coarse of my over 40 year journey as an audiophile, like so my others, I cycled through a multitude of speakers, amps, cables, etc,. Now that I’m an old guy, I’ve pretty much settled on my "End-Game" audio system for the long haul, primarily because I simply love the way it sounds, and also because, at this juncture, I no longer have the will, nor do I have the desire to continue the crazy (but fun) merry-go-round of audio components in and out like I did in years past (my spouse and my wallet thank me). When I look back on all the high-speed audio gear that I’ve owned down through the years, and after giving it much insightful thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that, after everything was said and done, my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers were my overall most pleasurable and greatest purchase of all. What was yours?

audioman58:  My speaker cables are JPS Labs Superconductor 3, which  I purchased over 13 years ago.  The Superconductor 3s are so compelling to me in their excellence that they have withstood the test of time, and I've had no inclination to replace them.  I use a couple of Shunyata Sigma ethernet cables in my system, which I did not replace for the same reasons I didn't replace my speaker cables.   With my latest upgrades, and with the combination of Audioquest, JPS Labs and Shunyata cables in my system, I was able to successfully achieve the highest level of sound quality ever, in any audio system that I've ever owned.  This was just my own personal audio journey experience that I thought I'd share with others.

Happy listening.

Recap: As previously mentioned, my absolutely incredible Revel Salon 2 speakers (which I currently own) is my #1 prized high end audio purchase that I've ever made in all my years as an audiophile.  My #2 greatest purchase, which I currently own, is my Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty DAC/streamer.  Incredible!!!
