How much do you have to spend?


To acquire a system after which spending additional $ would yield diminishing or marginal returns? How would you apportion the $ you spend to the various components needed?

for about 200K build a room that floats in a pool of jelly to avoid any vibration from the Earth. Otherwise it makes no sense to buy any audio gear.

You're asking people who would never have that much money to spend in the first place!

A perfectly satisfying HiFi system can be assembled for $5K or less by hunting for gear on the secondhand market. I stopped buying new a long time ago.
