You might consider going the DIY route. I upgrade my system with my soldering iron instead of my wallet. I've managed to bring my system up a "notch" every year for the last several years with a minimum outlay of cash. This year I replaced and upgraded all the active current sources (27 in total) in my system for a significant improvement in sonics. Cost was less than $100. There is so much "mark up" in HIgh End audio gear that unless your looking for bragging rights, most of it is a waste.

Very rare for a DIY project to match used at the same expenditure ....
Rare maybe; but not unheard of. In my case there are no examples in the high end world that use the same circuit topology, phono input to output. In that sense there are no matches out there.

All this passes me by. My task now is to figure out how to pay for a casket big enough to take all the great stuff I've accumulated with me. Oh yeah, dont pay any attention to the electrical plug sticking out of the ground near my grave.
I agree 100% with what you have said.
We are going to have to go back to the ways of old, and the ways of our ancestors, not only to fix if something is broken, but also to improve as well.
If you want something done right do it yourself. There is also more pride in that as well.
