General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Very thoughtful writeup! Here are my observations ...

I agree with your basic thrust that an awful lot of "audiophiles" spend way too much time, energy and money chasing the ever-elusive "perfect sound." And by the standards of this board, my system (link below) is fairly modest; nominal value about $6K, actual cost about $2.5K. I haven't made a significant upgrade since late 2000, except for buying a decent equipment rack. Over nearly four decades, I've spent roughly equal amounts of gear and recordings, with more money going for the music in the early years, and more for equipment lately.

Still, I have to wonder whether your newfound devotion to Audio Note may eventually fade. Most people who've just made a dramatic conversion (in religion, politics, or whatever) tend to proselytize for a while! I've never heard any Audio Note gear -- indeed, I've barely heard OF it! -- so I can't comment intelligently on it. But it's nice to read a well-written, coherent post that really makes some good points.

Thanks for taking the time!
