Esoterica Is Its Own Reward.

I have a system that I spent less than $700 on: Reconditioned Magnepan MG1.5 speakers, a 30 year old Yamaha M-4 power amp, and a Yamaha CD changer that has a digital volume control on the remote. I am using 12 gauge zip cord for speaker wire, etc. I have been designing, buying, and selling high end audio stuff for 25 years, and this is the most satisfying sound I have ever had. I think that the problem with the world of modern audio is that audiophiles have gone batty over fancy cables, tube amps, and all the other esoterica out there. Hearing is very subjective, and until folks accept that most of the money they are spending on audio is ego-bait, high end audio will continue to decline.
