Hey RICH Audiophiles

HI

This is aimed at every audiophile that reads it, i have owned the most expensive HIFI system in the UK it consisted of

Esoteric P01 D01s with RUB Clock,
Edge NL Reference monos
FM Acoustics 811 stereo 711 stereo
Edge NL Reference pre
FM Acoustics pre
Nola Grand Reference loudspeakers
JPS Labs Super Aluminata full loom including Power cables
Synergistic Research Absolute Reference full loom including Power cables
Various Equipment supports and Tweaks.

I now have a better sounding system totalling 30,000 GBP all in. I state from experience i am happier now with my current system than i was with the 1 million pound plus system of 10 years ago.
When you have the money you can get lost in the chase and forget the most important component and that is the music itself.
I now have much more spare change to buy music and have learnt from experience it is not about the high prices that will give you years of pleasure. Not all great equipment has to cost multi thousands but it takes experience to realise that, go work with a experienced dealer they will sell you what works and what you can afford enjoy your journey and always enjoy the music.

@dobnbav

Well I have a have a main system which cost over $50K. I used to have $50K speakers and even more expensive amps. So you want to hear my answer? If you can’t afford it stop asking. If you are serious then get on a plane or hit the road in your car and go to dealers who have the equipment you want. I also used to own a very high end shop in NYC.

Safe guess that a sparkling personality and a huge pile of humility have something to do with why he no longer owns a "high-end shop" in NYC.   

A woman goes in to Harrods of London and is looking to buy loads of furniture for the QE2, the salesman says 'what boat do you come from'? the lady with a deadpan look replies, 'sir, a boat is something we get into then the ship is sinking'.........
