A rookie with 10K, seeking advise


I'm new to the HiFi world. I listen to a lot of female vocal and classical music. I like both digital and vinyl. I am using a pair of Wharfedale Linton heritage and PS Audio Stellar Strata. 

I know this is too broad a question, but with 10K budget, where can I wisely spend my money? I don't mind tubes and I don't mind used either.

Any advise is greatly appreciated!

There must be some music lovers in your town that will expose you

to options. Ask.

Advice:

Rule #1- Be in no Hurry

Rule #2- Be in no hurry.

Listen to Open Baffle, Electrostatic/Planar, standard box speakers.

Decide which your ears like best for your music. Everyone hears differently

so brand suggestions are just a general direction. 

 

The suggestion of putting the money into room and power treatment

may be your most logical 1st step.

 

The $10k you mention now has little impact on your best path

unless you are different than all the others here making suggestions.

If you are a person who could put a very good system together  for $10k

and then say "Done"! you are different that the rest of the audio world.

 

Some Brands I have heard that made great sound include- Luxman, Pass, 

Line Magnetic, Naim.

 

Speakers are much too personal to begin a list.

 

Enjoy the journey!
