    Damn.

    I just went to my step-brother's home who has been an audiophile since the mid 70s. I've always known he was in to this but I really spent some time discovering his world this morning. He sat me down and played some jazz. I was blown away by the quality of the sound. I gotta say, I am hooked and have the bug to want to start a system. Now to convince the wife that this is a "need" not a "want".

    He told me to start with:

    A little phonostage
    Buffer USB (schiit wired)
    Schiit Loki Dac
    Vacuum Tube Amp (he builds them and has a couple ready to go for me)

    He said speakers are going to be a very expensive part of this too. I don't care if it takes five years to build this system, I gotta do this.

    Here are some pics of his system i took

    • Really nice amp but all together like that just looks like clutter.microkorg
    • gah, nice setup. It's amazing how a little test drive can convince you to just WANT good sound all of a sudden.zarkonite
    • the intriguing part was that i was only able to feel the bass, not really hear it. it was soothing.HijoDMaite
