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?

Can’t single out any one but here are the biggest winners for me, all current:

1) Ohm Walsh Speakers

2) KEF meta speakers

3) Roon

4) Cambridge Audio Evo 150

5) Room Equalization Wizard (REW) freeware (used with Roon DSP)

6) dbpoweramp for ripping CDs and Picard freeware to help with autotagging

7) Linn Axis turntable with Denon dl103R cartridge.

8) Audacity freeware to master analog vinyl converted to digital. This enables me to do my own digital mastering when converting vinyl to digital to then add to my digital music library and access via Roon.

9) Humminguru Ultrasonic record cleaner to get records spiffy clean before playing and typically also converting to digital.

 

Search my posts over the years and you should find I’ve elaborated on each of these at some point.
