music live and or recorded is the answer to burnout.change your emphasis to software. go back to the music when you were in high school. dance a little. finding a great peice music is every bit as good as a new peice of equipment. go to a night club or a symphony. don't worry we'll be here when you get back. get an ipod!
Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen
Hello,
Wanted to know if others out there have felt the same way.
I think I am burned out of looking for the next best or just changing gear. I have decided, it really is like chasing a rainbow. I believe, I will not get much greater joy even if I continue to upgrade (now stand around 15K worth of gear) Sure, to get new gear is fun when you first get it, but them, as always, in a couple of months, the longing for change comes back. For those who have lots of money to continue the ongoing chase of sonic narvana - they can afford the chase. For me, maybe there are other things to pursue instead of a pair of speaker or DAC. I still listen and enjoy music, but I may have come to the end of my road as a restless searcher for sonic change/perfection.
Anyone else out there have successfully jumped off the buy and sell cycle? What have you done with yourself since? Have you felt the audiophile id calling for you again?
Just some passing thoughts- thanks
Rich
