They play into the audiophile fears that something is always better, and if you pay more, it has to be better.

I been in this for 30 years, and I played that game, worried all the time of what I should upgrade next and if I do god will speak. Well I found that is not true, all I did was chase my tail and spend money year over year.

I had great systems, then ruined it, then had to start over. Now when I get the itch I go to a audio store and listen, come home and say no need to upgrade.

In reality for me now to upgrade I would not have the funds to do so in this age off ultra high-end costs. So I worked with what I have and man it sounds great.

I improve my room and that made more of a difference than any piece of gear did. I purchased several sets of tubes and by switching them I can alter the sound more that any cable could.

I am now waiting for some Bremer 12ax7, so once I receive them I will try them in place of my Tele's and see if they work with my McIntosg C2300 tube preamp.

Small costs can give you huge returns without having to keep buying new gear. Only thing I might buy at some point is a pair of Quad speakers one brand I have liked but never owned.
