Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above

Interesting topic, I am 50 and just spent the weekend over at a buddies house listening to his vinyl setup with 2 reviewers and well respected audio designer/builder.  I enjoyed the gear and the people but the music was some of the worst I have he...
