I own a vintage hifi setup (NAD3020 + AudioReference HR50) that costed me a few hundred bucks. I own a espresso machine that is a clone of the Lelit PL41 with PID and my grinder is a Barazza Encore with M2 burr.
My comment came from a place of love. I’m happy to see people going the extra mile. Myself, I just want to be chill at home and aim for a balanced providing me joy without headaches.
But I’m weird. Example: I love playing vinyls not because it sounds better but because it lacks dynamics and I find that… relaxing!

Reasonable, I am similar in those regards. I just wanted to highlight that the border between reasonable technical features and audiophile snakeoil is at times not totally clear to draw. There are e.g. quite expensive audio cables in pro audio as well, but there you pay for reliability and not for esoteric materials.
- margalabargala 4y agoI like playing vinyls because there's something neat about interacting with a physical object representing the music. It gives a satisfaction that digital music, or even CDs, do not. I could not care less about the minutiae of the sound quality coming out of it. And that's okay.
- futurecat 4y agoYour comment makes me happy as I strongly believe interacting with analog enriches our senses and gives satisfaction.
