    What are the three most expensive audio purchases you've made? How would you do you see them now post hoc?

    Where to start? Beolab 5 speakers to begin with. Unbelievable speakers that I adored but somehow got in my head that I needed an "all analog system" for vinyl that I was rapidly collecting. I sold the beolabs and got Sonus Faber Amati futuras which were even more expensive. That was nice...

    HifiMan Sundara + Qudelix K5

    Why are you here? If you're going to ignore everything that is recommended just go to head fi with the silly warm/cold amp nonsense

    Is the entire audio industry a fraud?

    It's not so easy to do. I am probably like a lot of audiophiles, I know virtually no one interested in Hifi. They couldn't care less. Even my friend who owns a chain of movie theaters thinks it's all silliness. If I asked my wife or daughter to switch whatever in a blind test they'd laugh...

    How much money do you have invested in this "hobby?"

    Thank god I had the money. When I think about it though, I never fell for the cable and power conditioning nonsense. Just never made sense even to my uneducated self. Lots of money spent, though, on preamps and amps and looking for the magical tube sound. Vinyl is also an endless black hole...
