You're more then welcome. And it's nice feeling a part of something with such a positive vibe for a change, and indeed we can all learn from one another, as learning never stops.

Content is a relative term. I am very happy with my two channel system now, and while there may be changes in the future, there isn't anything in mind now. I am just enjoying the music.

However, now I am upgrading the HT/surround sound/spare stereo system. I just added my two previous amps to it to drive the fronts, and that required buying a two shelf Mapleshade Samson rack to sit next to the 5 shelf rack. Next is upgrading the speaker cables, which will most likely be Shunyata Zitron Cobra all around. I just added a Shunyata Anaconda AES digital cable between the Bryston BDP1 and BDA2.

I guess by the time that is tweaked, it will be time to start again on the stereo.

Hi Bud,

I can agree to an extent in regards to the term, and how it's looked upon, but in hindsight, that's like me saying I'd be content if Halle Berry was at my side, but in reality with the candles positioned just so, my wife is all I need. And besides like a pair of olde worn out slippers - something's are about confront, and I'd rather stay with someone/something I know/understand then to continue taking chances on the unknown.


Its nice to be in a position to afford the finer things in life, but then life in itself doesn't look at cost, when one is on say their death bed, and the family has to sell off that expensive gear to pay bills for a faction of its original cost, I've owned $6.700 CD players and a few nice Integrated's along the journey, but in hindsight - as always, something's were lateral movements at best, but I'm at a point in life, where it's more about the music as opposed to the means, if in my mind a system plays the notes properly at any given price point!, why then spend where I don't have to?, but then again, I've also heard my share of ultra expensive wares that left me wondering - what are some of these guys hearing?.


Subjective, yes, but valid none the less.

What his wife would be thinking if she read this post: :reallymad:

Oh, trust me she knows!, but it's all good between us, no secrets here.

I'm 58 yrs old, it's only been in the last few years that I have had the money to upgrade my system to where it is. I love "Value" as much as anyone, and you have a great system, maybe some day you can spend a little more, but if you can't, it won't matter, you will still love listening to music.
I still own what I consider one of the best values in speakers that I've ever heard,PSB Synchrony One's,and if they were still my main speakers I would be very happy.
I do agree that we should be talking more about value gear on our forum, so lets start !!

How about my under $500 Yaqin tube intergrated that sounds quite nice?
