Yes it is all about the music! I have a 1100 plus CD collection, 500 plus DVD collection and 100 plus vinyl collection. Listening to music was taught to me by my parents who did not allow us to grow up watching TV during the week and limiting time on the weekends. I also I believe it goes back to the teaching of setting goals and achieving them on one's quest for perfection (as elusive as it may be). I remember as a kid trying to hot rod my bike to look like a motorcycle. As well as the hot rodding my car to to make it perform better or look better in my opinion.
I still look at car and motorcycle mags to see what is out there pretty much the same way I look at the audiophile mags. Occasionally there is something that catches the eye in an article or an ad that triggers the impulse to change/upgrade.
Audiogon has made the transition to upgrade so much quicker and easier since we are not dealing with full retail on new equipment purchases. Instead if the 10 year period for a partial or complete system upgrade it is now less than five years. Keep listening!
