In Reply to: RE: Not making lateral moves... posted by raingerz on November 26, 2020 at 20:48:30
I think someone needs to understand what they like before they spend more money on something that's better. Yes more money probably means "better" but that doesn't mean someone will like it as much as what they replace.It's about heaping on strengths (not balancing weakness with strengths) based on a system builders preferences.
To be more clear there's no doubt I could have a system costing 4 times or more than the system I'm currently enamored with and just not have much interest in listening to it. One man's pride and joy is another guys barf bag. It's clearly a subjectivists hobby.
Spending more money doesn't even guarantee mediocrity.

Of course, there's the other side of this: When you replace a piece of equipment and find that there's a big improvement. That improvement proves to be consistent and repeatable. That's happened to me several times fairly recently.
Have you ever made an upgrade (not a lateral move) that brought audible improvements but ultimately you ended up liking the listening experience less?
I can only think of one instance where that happened to me: Years ago I replaced a Denon DL-103R with a Lyra Helikon. I got what I thought was an improvement in high frequency reproduction but ultimately I preferred the way the Denon handled high frequencies. I went back to the Denon.
