Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa?


It's been a good long while since I've felt the need to try and improve something on my system, and as I sit here listening to Dire Straights 'Brothers in Arms', I can't forsee that changing.
Problem is, I really miss the thrill of the hunt. Anybody else have similar experience?

YEP I do miss it… just like I miss a deep sunburn and spilling hot coffee on my lap.

I do remain intrigued however with some aspects of system ins and outs I’ve not yet tried… like for instance putting together a nice SET rig… or checking out the diffs from passive AC filtration to an active one….

Or perhaps owning an analog system that is fully automatic… including getting the album off the shelf and putting it back…. I’m pretty sure it’s too expensive to get into though. ;o)

Past the above the main irritation is finding out the chain gang of audio intrigue is just a symptom of a deeper issue…. So I’ve simply replaced the audio obsession with a ‘home improvement’ one… I’ll have to drag this one out too, for afterwards I have no idea what to obsess on then! Radio controlled airplanes came to mind, but not for very long. The take off would have to be amazing! ‘Cause then they would all disappear! They don’t make boomerang airplanes do they?

Hey! Boomerangs! I’ll need a helmet I suppose… and some nice gloves… maybe a nice tote. Wonder what color? Should they all be engraved? and then, how about.....???
