Hello People,
I'm working on my first 'proper' hifi set up and find it hard to decide how much to spend.
Speifically I understand taht the higher up you go in terms of gear cost the more diminishing returns you'll see.
Case in point a streamer,
I've been looking at a dedicated streamer and considered teh CA Stream Magic 6 (£650) - theres a new version coming later this year - it's very good but then I heard the Linn Majik DS (£1400 ex-dem) and it sounds fantastic, especially as I managed to hear it together with the rest of my future system (Classe CAP2100 and B&W CM10's). BUt then there's teh Linn Akurate DS (£3150 ex-dem) which is even better... Obvoiusly I don't have unlimited fund and the CFO is watching like a Hawk.
My question is about teh relationship betwen prioce and perfoirmance.
Let's say the CA Stream Magic 6 is good and the Linn majik DS is twice the cost, does it sound twice as good?
And wil the Akurate DS sound twice as good again?
Please do share your thoughts,
Thanks.
