The two stages of audiophilia

Stage 4 ; Do you have a “ Tubes Rule “ Manley Java cup next to that Italian addiction satisfaction machine ?


Stage 5. how to fund that third Manley microphone……?

Got there I believe recently. Any further upgrade would just be too expensive for the improvement. System: Audiolab 6000 CDT, Denifrips Ares ii, Vincent Audio SA 31 MK / SP 331 MK and audio Physic Sitara 25's. Also use 2 x Definitive Technology sub cube 4000 subwoofers.

i am somewhere between a family friend [ace musician] who hears all she needs from an ancient table radio] and your typical megabuck wealthy audiophile. 

Can’t is definitely the operative word… as in afford. But hey, whatever. 
Rule 1… see rule 10

Rule 10… return to rule 1. 
It never ends.
