Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ??
I agree with Wolf garcia. I have a modest $5000 system and have really enjoyed the challenge of matching equipment and cables until I found the best sound at the given budget.I have heard $60,000 systems that didn't sound good to me at all. The po... 
Listening distance
Great story Dodgealum. 
Have you become too jaded with this hobby???
I'm enjoying the computer system I'm on right now. It's not hi end at all.It's all about the music. 
Listening distance
Inna, I don't understand what you mean by a fixed position is an exceptable compromise. But moving around is not a compromise ?Once you get your speakers positioned in the best possible place in the room, then get your seating in the best possible...

6 foot triangle. I use a single driver with a tweeter. The imaging is very good.There Are many factors that dictate the distance of listening. The room is the biggest factor to consider.Speaker hight and how many drivers is another.

What's your budget? Give us a number that we can work with. Then we can start helping you.We all had to start somewhere. 
ear care
I was in the metal fabrication industry for almost 30 years and wore foam earplugs every day. I can honestly say that my hearing was saved from using protection. 
Keeping up on new releases, reissues, etc.
+1 on Goodwill finds. Our Goodwill cost $3.09 per cd.I have found some great cd's there though.

The Almarro A318B is a high current SET that produces SET mids with very strong bass. The highs are pristine.It has 18 watts per channel. I bought it after reading a 6Moons review that comapred it to amps costing upward of over $10,000.I've never ... 
Antelope Zodiac Gold - anyone have or heard one?
I have heard the AZG Dac and it sounds fantastic. I haven't heard the Weiss or Metric Halo.Another DAC you might keep in mind is the Burson HA-160d.It's been getting rave reviews and 6Moons has made it their referance DAC.And it's quite affordable. 
I am looking into the Tekton Lore's
I own a pair of Lore and absolutly love them.They are an increadable speaker.The price is almost crazy.I can't find a fault in the sound anywhere.30hz-30khz, and it does it seamlessly. Hope this helps.

Mlg, I think Gpowered got his in white. He sent me a photo and they look real sweet.For the price point, I don't think you'll be selling them any time soon after you hear them. They are quite good.I'll PM you about some cables. Welcome to the Lore...
