None of us is after exactly the same thing.
Exactly. Some are after SETs/horns, some are not.
Any time anyone here is actually happy with what they have it’s time to celebrate.
I am very happy with my system. Noob or not.

Musical preferences: Pretty much anything. Classical from renaissance to 21st century. Listening a lot to the old masters, but also a lot to 20th century and modern avant-garde classical music, including some screechy one which you can chase the mice out of your house with (at least that's how some would feel about it). Second most listened to genre is jazz, including wild avant-garde jazz. Rock -- classic rock, prog rock, punk rock, jazz rock etc. Also pop and singer-songwriter. Electronica. Important to me: No priorities of one genre over another when it comes to sound capabilities of the system. The reproduction of all types of music must satisfy equally.System: Mutec REF10 120SE (10 MHz clock) > Mutec PSC 50 cable (0.75 m) > Jay's Audio CDT3 CD Transport > MIT SL-Matrix Plus AES/EBU digital cable (1.5 m) > Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC / Octave HP 700 preamp / Octave RE 320 stereo amp with Super Black Box; power tubes are switched from KT150 to KT120 / PranaFidelity Dhyana speakers, dual JL Audio Fathom 112 v2 subwoofers/ analog signal cables: ZenWave Audio D4 interconnects, ZenWave SSR-11 speaker cables / Solid Steel HW-2L component rack and HRS platforms for preamp and ampPower : Dedicated 10 AWG shielded line (MC 10/2) from breaker box to Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) outlet, 9 AWG ZenWave Clear Bass cable to Furutech e-TP609 NCF 6-way power distributor / ZenWave PL-11 power cables for DAC, preamp and amp / ZenWave Clear Bass power cables for CD transport, 10 MHz clock, subwoofersAcoustic treatment : IsoThermal TubeTraps, TubeTraps, Tri-panels, SoundPlanks, WindowPlugs, ceiling diffusers (all ASC), ceiling cloths, wooden floor diffusersRoom dimensions : 24 ft long x 12 ft wide (13.5 ft at small window bay) x 8.5 ft high
