by popular request (okay just @ted and @nicholas) here is an overview of our hi-fi setup: * but first, why? listening to music can be either a passive activity, like background music while cooking or commuting, or an activity that demands your full attention. if the latter, then the quality of your experience is shaped by the ability of your system to reproduce music. this means everything from source (streaming, CD, vinyl, reel-to-reel tape) → amplification → volume control (preamp) → speakers and all of the cables in between. maybe this all sounds dumb (who cares about cables???) but until you have a once-in-a-lifetime experience listening to a really great system, you won't know what you're missing from your favourite music. not just technical qualities like detail or extension, but emotion, texture, and meaning. hi-fi is a great real-world example of plato's cave, because once you've heard what you're missing... you can't unhear it.

Potentially something for dummies like me about how you would go about building a system like this I.e. where to start, the non-negotiables, premium nice to haves to add on later

yeah that’s a great suggestion! it’s a pretty complex hobby for a newcomer, definitely want to write about how you build a system and what goes into choosing the components.
