Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained?
Fingerprints are unique as is our journey through life. I have enjoyed my journey and it's been a long journey starting with my first stereo (MCS from JcPenny) in the '80s.  And in my experience the more I've spent the better sound I have experie... 
Help with speaker selection <$20k
Sounds like a fun journey - I encourage you to listen to as many speakers as you can and if possible bring your 'front end' when you are getting close. I have Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs and absolutely love them - drive by Moon 860A V2.  If I wa... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@mojo771 I prefer Tidal as well primarily because of the music genre. I have listened to Tidal and Qobuz back to back on music I like I preferred Tidal. There are several folks I know who prefer Qobuz for music quality - my take away is go with w... 
Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
@killingforcompany I encourage you to listen as many brands of speakers as you can. I like a variety of music and Black Sabbath's War Pigs is a song I often use for auditioning speakers because it includes simple dynamic shifts and has areas with...

Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Good luck on your journey. I would enjoy the process - you earned it.  I'm fortunate enough to have a dealer I trust to work with and it allows me the opportunity for home auditions and even occasional opportunities at demos. There's a few upgra... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
I heard a difference with Shunyata Venom 10 NR - I acquired it for $350 as a demo.  I was 'lent' it to see if I noticed and appreciated the difference - it did and for me it was worth the price.  
help choosing a turn table
@rbgator94 my first thought is...do you have a trusted audio dealer? My rationale is they may have a great used opportunity and possibly one you can audition. If new is your goal, I really appreciate the combination of simplistic solution and st... 
Match for McIntosh 352
I've owned a set of Sonetto V's driven by C2600 and MC 302 - > wonderful speaker.  Obviously opinions vary and I think the Sonetto V is a great speaker.
