So, since my family likes looking at the lotto, I thought I'd have some fun. The Mega Millions Jackpot is 1.6 Billion in California tomorrow, and taking the lump sum is 902 Million. Even after taxes, you'd probably have 450 million. With that amount of money, what kinds of audio purchases would Y'all spend some of it on?

Nothing at first, I couldn't hear anything anyway over the roar of all my new Ferraris and Lambos :p

Personally, I would buy a really nice high end turntable maybe something over ten thousand dollars, but overall, nothing too over the top because I would just focus more on traveling the world and seeing live music in different cities rather than home audio.

Yes, A great portable rig would be nice. But something relatively simple though. Maybe 2 sets of great IEMs since they won’t take up much luggage space and perhaps 2 different great DAC/Amps in case one runs out battery charge. They should be able to fit in a small bag since I dislike too much luggage

I'd want to move into a condo with enough insulation in the walls to afford a decent set of speakers

Would still need headphones for night listening so I'd probably go with an Abyss Phi TC with the matching Formula S amp and go on a hunt for a TOTL DAC. There are other setups that intrigue me such as STAX with a Blue Hawaii or Orpheus but new money has to remain humble at first :beyersmile:

I'd be owning quite a few new Sony products that have a Z in their name. Just to get started.
