@audiodwebe What level of equipment is it that you have so much? Maybe you could try to sell a lot of it and move up to the next level? LOL, that's not something a person who has reached the end point wants to hear!  
A good AES cable for Jay’s Audio CD 3 MK3 Transport
I’m using a Bel Canto Dac

@mksun  Read part of that article and it hits home. It’s a craving for something new, not necessarily better, that is behind the urge make a change.

I think discovering good new music is where money should be spent. With that being said, I have wasted a lot of money on music that isn't that good. This can be said for poor vinyl pressings that seem to be common these days.        
What are your thoughts on Raidho?
They don't hold their value at all. I have seen current models selling used at 75% off retail. I think this has to do with Raidho's Models always being replaced after 2-3 years. As for their sound heard them at Axpona and wasn't that impressed. IM...

I'm right there with others on settling down and enjoying what I have. I think we place too much emphasis on the equipment not the recordings when something doesn't sound right. Most of the time we should lay blame on the recordings when we feel t...

I think the Tariffs are going to dictate whether a lot of people stop buying and brake the habit of constantly upgrading their equipment. Once people break the habit it will be hard to jump back on the upgrade path.

I actually think the areas where I haven’t hit the end point are things that can improve what I already have. Example: record flattening device for my LPs.   
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
Screw the floor standing speaker. At $3500. I heard the PS Audio F5 stand mounted speaker and it’s beyond anything in the $3500. range I have heard. Incredible soundstage, transparency and detail. Just beyond anything one should expect from a spea...

I believe I have my system right where I need to be now. After returning from Axpona over the weekend and listening to my system again I think I’m on par with 95% of what I heard there. Was thinking while I was listening to PS Audio Fr30 speakers ...

Just returned from Axpona and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of companies displaying more affordable, albeit still costly equipment, that sounded incredible. A lot of what I heard I could live with and be happy with and call it a day. But t...

Will be interesting to see much the price of admission has changed from moderate to super high end equipment when I get to Chicago later today for Axpona. With the economy and other factors affecting luxury items sales I just don’t see why compani...

Heading to Axpona this weekend. Just another sign I haven’t reached my end point. 😂

I started to see the light when every year companies are raising the prices on the same components by 15-20%. This is much higher than 5-7% inflation rate we have seen in the past 4 years. What gives? Greed!

I always seem to screw things up by upgrading when I have my system sounding the best.
