Hi,
Long time audiophile but I've only taken things seriously recently in the last five years. Why? USB decrapification opened my eyes, or ears, rather. Since then, I've discovered just how much my system can resolve, and how much my room matters. The room matters more, but that's not as much fun as buying new gear and there is WAF (or better to say SO-AF?) to contend with. Anyway, household approvals aside, I'm settled on my system although I may do a wholesale shift this year just for fun.
Current setup includes PS Audio P3, older Naim, Schiit Yggy, Denafrips Ares II, LP12/Ittok/Hercules/DL-103, Monitor Audio Silver 500 speakers on IsoAcoustics Gaia feet, and tweaks and room treatments too numerous to get into. What is less obvious here is power, IMO. Quality power is the most important fundamental, to my ears.
I visited a few years ago but then life got busy. Now it's a little less crazy, so time to see what there is to learn anew.
Best,
Larry
