Is it really the system?


It’s been going on for years now. One of these, two of those, another yadayada… and I’m done. But then you find out you aren’t quite done after all.

Not yet. Not quite…

Is it a slippery sound you chase? A finite exceptional tonality which continues to elude? Is your happiness continually percieved to be in a thing still on the horizon, and not yet in the nest?

Is there indeed a light at the end of the tunnel, or is it a train?

Why keep pressing onward if by so many accounts and your own, the current system’s presentation is great now?

Or in other words perhaps, Enthusiast, Audiophile, or Gear hound? Just where do you hang your hat?

Or have you indeed hung it up for good?

Blindjim -- I enjoyed your audiophilic blank verse; the proper proportions of joy and frustration.
My feelings about our mutual obsession are similar to owning a beloved dog:
There is the constant feeding and the constant picking-up of poop. And the occasional visit to the Vet. But sometimes, just being in its presence makes you (or allows you to) smile. And sometimes spending a few minutes playing with it is enough to decompress your psyche and renew your spirit.
