Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!


My audiophile journey has extended to over 40 of adventurous sonic delight. Over the coarse of my over 40 year journey as an audiophile, like so my others, I cycled through a multitude of speakers, amps, cables, etc,. Now that I’m an old guy, I’ve pretty much settled on my "End-Game" audio system for the long haul, primarily because I simply love the way it sounds, and also because, at this juncture, I no longer have the will, nor do I have the desire to continue the crazy (but fun) merry-go-round of audio components in and out like I did in years past (my spouse and my wallet thank me). When I look back on all the high-speed audio gear that I’ve owned down through the years, and after giving it much insightful thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that, after everything was said and done, my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers were my overall most pleasurable and greatest purchase of all. What was yours?

Music Reference RM9 amp

Music Reference RM5 MKII preamp

McIntosh MR 71 tuner

Proceed PCD2 cd player

Thorens TD125 MKII, Rega RB303 arm, Grado Red cart

ProAc Studio 1 speakers, Snell Type Eiii speakers, or Chateau Research 1.5 speakers

Meridian 551 int & 504 tuner

 

Unfortunately, all of these are long gone but these are the ones that I miss the most over the years

In 1987 I purchased the following for $5000:

McIntosh 2205 amp, McIntosh C32 preamp, McIntosh MR 78 Tuner, McIntosh XRT 20 Speakers, McIntosh 7000 CD Player, B&O 8002 Turntable(w/ MMC1 Cart), B&O 9000 Tapedeck, ADS 10 Time Delay System.

It was a dream deal come true at the time, and I still have and use the amp, speakers, tuner and turntable.

Franco Serblin Ktema speakers (075) in Italy.. By far the best purchase ever made. 

50 years ago i bought a Technics Sl 1350 and Shure V15 11 cart...cost me $400 bucks that was a great price back then and it was State of Art...
