RE: Hi-end retail experience in Chi & NYC

It was actually much more absurd in NYC.
the guy walked me into a room where the amp was $25k, speakers were $40k, DAC was $10k with some server thing I have never seen and I'm sure the cables were $10k+.

That's fine for those with the dough and want to fuss over audio. I can relate, I was almost sucked in like that 30 years ago.

First, I have a small room for my main rig.
Second, I'm ONLY going to stream from here forward...;-). Done with CDs, etc. LOVE the flexibility of all services.

I was laughing.
Just put together a system of a Belles Aria amp, Dynaudio Special 40s, Bluesound Node 2i and a Chord Qutest and SIMPLY LOVE IT!. Mid level DH Labs cables everywhere.

My only real tweak is dedicated electric lines.
Token Oppo transport rarely used.

Love it, love it, love it.
