I love my main system, but if the house burnt down it would cost bonkers money to replace. Assuming I started again how much would I spend? My ideal value-for-money system would:
A sub £1000 CDP or Computer Audio set-up.
A sub £1000 second hand TEAD Vibe pre-amp.
A second hand Rotel poweramp for peanuts.
A £1000 pair of Yamaha NS1000Ms
A second hand Roksan Xerxes / Artemiz and a Koetsu Black with a couple of hundred pounds to have it fettled by Ian at UHES, with a second hand TEAD MicroGroove.
Cheap good quality interconnects and speaker cables.
Some pulsar points under equipment and speakers.
This is still quite a lot of money but probably less than a good second hand NAP 500.
