As far as the increasing value/performance of 'middle-tier' DACs and off-the-shelf headphones, sure. But with OPT tube amps, somehow I don't feel that shift as much.
A used Super 7 under $1k, even if extremely rare, is still more accessible to me than any of the current production EC models price-wise. A rare option is still an option, but I'll never spend more than $1k on a single piece of audio equipment.
Sometimes as I get older I wish back in the day I should had go out and buy more music and do some hard drugs. Focus less on the hardware at times.....
I don't feel like I'm lacking anything performance-wise from my setup and I don't want to leave the impression that i'm displeased with what i've got. What attracts me to the Super 7 is just that it has tubes and is super configurable and tweakable. I guess I could always just get a bottlehead. I just like to tweak.
