If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question


Let's say you're filthy stinking rich and had $1,000,000+ to spend on an audio system. What would you do, assemble a single SOTA system or for the same amount of money put together multiple very high quality (and certainly not cheap) non-SOTA systems.

This fantasy is in the either/or format. Points will be deducted for thoses who answer "both".

Slappy, the question was regarding the $1,000,000 to spend on audio, not that you had only a mere $1,000,000!

I would build an amazing room in which to keep the system. Then I would buy a pair of Kharma Exquisites (I think is the name, there's $130,000 down the tubes). I would have Stan Klyne build me a cost no object pre-amp (there goes another couple of hundred dollars) I would get the Halcro monoblocks. A Sota Millenium TT with an SME 5 arm and a SHelter 901 cartridge. I would have modwright upgrade my Sony SCD-777es with all the whistles and bells (digital really isn't that important to me). All my cable would be Purist Dominus, unless they make a better cable before this windfall.

Then I would have an opening night concert for my friends and have a few of my favorite bands play my favorite song.
Charles the rich pay more taxes because earn more and then they pay it at a higher percentage rate.
Mint604 I have heard the Schroeder arm briefly, but have spoken with people who have a lot more experience than I, and the difference between great arms like the Walker and the Schroeder is a matter taste. Some people prefer butter pecan to chocolate chip cookie dough. I know two people have one on order and will probably keep their existing arm and the Schroeder on the same table.

Buy both arms and use them for specific LPs.
