OP
I guess I never of had the experience of getting so wrapped up in the gear issues that I couldn’t enjoy the music because I was obsessing to much about deficiencies in the playback experience. You seem to have been unfortunately afflicted in this way. I am not being critical, just expressing sadness that this has occurred. Based on your previous posts I think that we have very similar tastes in Music, so this seems to hit a bit close to home...I can only urge that if playback obsession becomes the dominant focus, perhaps you shouldn’t listen to anything for a few weeks. When I have to endure a long stretch without being able to hear Music I then appreciate it so much more and cease to care what playback medium is used.
