If you had $20K to spend, what would you buy in audio?

[Argonaut]

Shipping might be a touch spendy … however a lot of HiFidelity fun for the asking price and $17K left over.

 

[Newton John]

Either Linn Bedrok upgrade for LP12 and Exstatik cartridge

or

an ex-dem pair of Kudos Titan 808s

With $20K I would buy more records & CD's as well more bookcases to shelve them.
I already have plans for this anyway...

 

[hopkins]

I would buy streamer and amps from Fredrik Lejonklou:

Saving for retirement

I can recommend a few budget components in the meantime

I also have Pulsar/Holo May. You could spend $1,000 on a Mac Mini and HQ Player and use the HQ Player endpoint with Roon as controller.

I was going to ask you a question about how this works with the Pulsar but it sounds like you can configure it as an HQPlayer NAA Endpoint. Does this 1) result in an improvement in sound quality vs. just using Roon with an Eversolo A8 as the endpoint outputting over I2S to the Holo May KTE, and 2) does it equal or exceed the sound quality using the Sense App with the Pulsar no Roon? Thanks.

Technics SP-10R and save the other 8k for a new Lyra Atlas Lambda SL when I wear it out.
