Make Audiophilia Great Again (MAGA) 🤗 My gear costs ~$200 (TV not included) and I consider myself an audiophile. 😃 Here it is: Denon 5.1 reciever, Onkyo speakers, toslink optical cable, Technics CD player (not used much). TV is connected to the receiver and I listen to YouTune Premium (HiRes or normal) - it sounds great to me. Much better than discos and clubs that I have been before. 😉 And the price-quality ratio: outstanding. 😄 I love it and my friends love it. What else can one want?

[@Douglas_Blake]

100% agreement, Bruce. Seriously ... if one more person tells me my system isn't good enough to appreciate their $10,000 cables I'm likely to die laughing. Snobbery has no place in a hobby where technical progress and common sense improvements are the rule, not the exception.

Hear, hear!

Hello, Bruce. I absolutely agree with your message that snobbery has no place in any comment section. A beginner-friendly and open-minded atmosphere is what the curious and new persons would hope to encounter, as they are seeking information and constructive advice. By helping them, they will be more inclined to explore the joy in quality music reproduction, in their individual way. It's about the music and revelling in its beauty. Cheers, and happy listening! 😊👍🎶🎶🎶

[@Douglas_Blake]

Yes... Happy Listening! At the core of this is the enjoyment of music... the gear is simply a means to an end.

[@Douglas_Blake]

Old (rather tired) joke.... Most people use their stereos to listen to music. Audiophiles use music to listen to their stereos. Lord, I wish that wasn't true!
