And before I take my leave, I wanted to drop this:

As per what Thomas has said, I too have in my 46 years at this shared hobby have concluded only heard three systems as well which communicated the music in such a manner, I found myself glued to the chair asking for a pen and notebook, as each and every record heard made me feel as if I'd to own them by days end, one said system was the guy that got me into tubes back in 1989, whom had DIY single driver speakers | cables from Gardo ( which I don't recall having made it into the market ) tube gear consisting of EL34s | 300Bs | 2A3s | 45s placed within four different levels in his home, the only commercial items was an Oracle Delphi MK ll with Grado Signature Tonearm and 8MZ cartridge, which was the exact same arm and cartridge used in the second best system I've ever heard, where they were placed on a Townshend Elite Rock MK ll, used in tandem with a then Naim Nait 3R driving a pair of Epos Acoustics ES-14s, the last of which was at Don Better Audio in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where I'd hear the likes of turntables from Spiral Groove | Well Tempered Labs | Shindo Labs | DPS used with either Dynavector or EMT cartridges into either Leben or Shindo driving a lovely sounding pair of DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3XLs, in the largest living room area I've ever encountered to date.
These three stood out amongst the more like 120 other shops or peoples homes systems I've heard since 1984, where as Thomas mentions were systems on average retailing between $500.000.00 - $1000.000.00 easily which didn't impress me in the least, if anything I found them boring as hell, as each never had the ability to translate the essence of the music itself, and even if I had the funds, I'd have never purchased any of this shit.
Weird thing about the system Thomas speaks on is, I only spotted 2 items which were produced in the USA, go figure, but it shows that if one is willing to get beyond their biases of Chinese made gear, what's possible.
So I simply don't buy into that spending amounts on one's system which could in fact buy 2-3 homes, just sounds like more of that bragging rights thing I've often mentioned or heard others speak on as well, more power to those that can swing it, but if rather use said amount of money assisting some in messed up situations or neighborhoods, whom are about to lose their homes, in other words establish some form of low income housing where people aren't forced out of their homes, because of unfair rental rates based upon a totally BS!, so-called market rate per state, as I see it, it's has always been about greed, and only allowing the privileged to live in slightly more upscaled neighborhoods, damn the world is in need of some serious restructuring, based upon peoples actual income, as opposed to only this or that type deserves to live at this or that address.
