You don't need $60,000 of tube amplifiers and a $6,000 DAC to make cymbals sound real. My system is one of the most transparent and realistic sounding system I've heard and my power amplifier is a $2500 Parasound Halo A21 with a $1000 TASCAM DA-3000 DAC. Of course, I do have a Vacuum Tube Audio preamp.
