^^The only point I see is you contradicting yourself.
Save your money spend 5 grand and you can get something nice, 50 grand is Elitist by definition RS.
I'm not elitist, I live within my means.
And so do I. That's what I've been trying to explain to you. Just so happens I'm in a position where I can spend that much money on my sound. My shouldn't my sound be improtant to me because it's not the same dedication as yours..to the tchnology, I ,ean. I'm not trying to start an arguement//a debate sure, but if we're going to get into a pissing match about it..we just stop..right?
I respect you and your tastes and how you achive them. Why can't you do the same for me?
Being an audiophile is a passion, and expensive.
If you are happy with a modest system then spend less and you will still enjoy your music.
You are the one who threw 50 grand out there, not me.
I rebuilt my entire analog system last year, for less than 6 grand, including vinyl albums.
Not a snob either, you seem to be looking for a fight that isn't there.
