is it an upgrade or just fun?


i used to think that i upgraded for better sound but now im not so sure.

i was in the middle of upgrading my rig when i fell 32 feet from a roof at work & smashed my hip(you bet it hurt) & due to that i couldnt lift anything let alone move big ass amps in & out so my rig stayed the same for a few months,during that time i listened more than i ever had & realized that the rig was perfect & needed nothing.

well now that im up & around again & the the morphine's all gone i got the bug again,within the last week ive bought 3 new peices & i have my eye on a few more & i like it!

it seems that for me trying out new things is atleast half the fun so i ask is it REALLY an upgrade or just alot of fun trying out new things?

hi dave,i wish i had been on a GM plant,if i had i never woulda fell,GM has some of the strictes saftey policies around & they enforce them,actually i fell thru a skylight while doing an inspection,go figure,23 years on the same job & i make a rookie mistake,the worst part was having to lay around the house while the sun's shining,thats all over now though,i had the bikes out over the last few days & damm is it nice to be outside.

simon,damm! you sound as bad as me,over the years ive broken just about every bone in my body including my back not to mention being burned with 600 degree hot tar over 7% of my body & cutting a finger completely off but 3 years on crutches! god that had to suck.

its nice to know that other guys try new gear just for the fun of it,i thought i was perfectly happy with my rig the way it was & i am happy with the sound but to me having the exact same rig for too long kinda makes it feel like its furniture & not a hobby.

ive allready took delevery of a new cd player & i cant wait for the new preamp & another cd player to get here next week,thanks for the well wishes.
