@waytoomuchstuff Appreciate the intelligent and mature reply! I agree with most of your comments but few if any will agree on what a deeper soundstage, lower noise floor, longer note decay or any other Audiophile nuances should cost. This is why any price/performance ratio standard IMO is nearly irrelevant. Another issue is most would disagree where the starting point(cost) for a true HEA system begins. My guess is it could range from $1k to $25K depending on the individual. On a side note I made a comment on an older thread that I never heard an "incredible" complete system for $4500 and got blasted for my honest opinion. FWIW "Incredible" is a very subjective word, quoting Paul Simon..."one man' s ceiling is another man's floor" can be applied to our audio journey/destination.

What is the cost of admission?
How much does one have to spend on equipment to be considered an Audiophile, if it is truly the later than the music.
What has membership to this perceived exclusive club cost you?
