So for all that money the sound isn't perfect? Hmmm, so he spend all that on boxes that look really cheap and ugly and don't even produce the result you'd expect for that money.
I like some good sound aswell but spending an amount of this kind is far far over the top. The equipment looks nice and all but it has been proven that your average person over the age of 25 has heard so many loud sounds, that his or her hearing has been damaged so much that they can't distinguish the sound of an lp or cd anymore while being blindfolded.
Far over the top, and a complete waste of money if it isn't perfect, but thanks for posting the pics there Interman!

No stereo is perfect. I completely agree that when something costs that much it should be able to play anything perfect, but when you're at that level it's not easy or cheap to tune things the exact way. For instance, at that guy's place the biggest problem was the room. A stereo like that deserves a huge room with acoustic treatment and everything. He just had a normal T-shaped living room. The other problem is bad recordings. On a normal stereo, over PC speakers, or on your ipod it's hard to distinguish between good and bad recordings, but in high-end audio one of the big questions is: do you want your stereo to be completely transparent, meaning it'll play things exactly as they are, or do you want it to smooth over things and filter out stuff you 'probably' didn't want.
So in other words, good recordings sound extremely good, and bad recording just sound good.
Will be posting more picture threads soon though
