@ideal8592 Congrats! Glad you joined the "done stressing over the gear club". I've been a member of that club for a while now, though I did purchase a new CD-SACD transport in December (as PS Audio offered a new model, and a key part of the one I replaced was no longer being produced). Hoping you can relax and enjoy the music more!
OMG. What now?
After all the listening, the buying, the seeking, the reading, the tweaking, the testing, the critiquing, the latest trend, and the old forgotten mend… my system sounds wonderful - to me.
I’m enjoying the music without thinking about this thing, that thing, the worst thing, the next thing, the best thing… another thing. But I just know there’s something better!
That’s it. It’s the ultimate blessing or, dare I say it, the ultimate curse. I’ve reached the end of the audiophile’s dilemma. Or have I? What now? So,
1. I’m not using a preamp between my digital source and my amp. Both are outstanding, so do I really need one?
2. Where’s the best place to sell my used stuff?
3. What’s the most obvious “weak link” that’s holding my system back from a yet undiscovered audiophile music nirvana?
We all here suffer the same neuroses, so any help is appreciated.
