Ain't that the truth. Some time ago I made "decent" money, and went on a quest for sound. After 10's of thousands of dollars and MANY boutique pieces of gear, I've "settled" on a VHT rig for the last few years. For the most part I love it, but it's STILL not 100% what I "want my sound to be".

Funny part: a while back a friend and I did a quick demo. Ended up that his solid-state old Ampeg SS140 2x12 combo sounded just as good IN THE END PRODUCT as my $3-4K worth of VHT did.
