@xahteiwi @dan I had these kinds of discussions around 25 years ago when I worked in an IT company, where the boss also was into HiEnd and helped design and produce speakers. The gear he had in his office was astounding.
But I also learnt to appreciate just how good good sounding gear sounds. Forever changed the price tag of Audio equipment I bought. (Around 2k is the sweet spot to get great audio). Luckily he wasn’t in that camp, but some of employees and colleagues…

@jcfischer @xahteiwi @dan That's the thing, there is a perceptible difference *at some level* mostly because €2000 is going to get you better drivers, higher quality materials and build. Much like the difference between a commercial violin and a hand-crafted one.

But the gains beyond that diminish quickly.

@tanepiper @xahteiwi @dan exactly this. I mean, it was fun to listen to a Krell amplifier that cost 50k but as you said, the differences become miniscule

Gentlemen, I'm gonna confess that I do quite like me some Hendrix played through the aux input of my cranked Marshall. 😀
