Very true....my buddy explains to me how each component of his system, and he has 19, including separate tuner, DAC: digital analog converter( this corrects signal path 300 times per second
), has its own dedicated power circuit from his house panel to prevent distortion, and his turntable sits on a $10K table to ward off vibrations that are transferred through the chassis of the turntable that might reverberate back into the phono cartridge and alter the sound
! God bless him and his music. I guess it is similar to spending $1000 on a WEVO shifter because of the very positive "click" and firm seating through out the gear pattern
, although I can vouch for feeling the click!
But yes, he spent more on his speaker cables(for one set of his speakers and he has 3 pair) than the cost of some speedsters. Stereo madness I presume.....
