If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…
Ahhh. Wanting what we have vs having what we want. Isn't that the age old question? Methinks it is the "want' part that causes all of the problems. I am eternally grateful for the ability to dive into Qobuz and search for more unheard music. It satisfies this longing. This morning it is Dom La Nena "Tempo" and a fresh ground Sumatra Gayo. |
"I just want to enjoy the music." Are you sure? You just want to be passive? When I reflect, I see two different reasons I keep reading about audio. One is the desire for "perfection." That's a trap. Avoid it. Tvad had good advice. The other is the desire to do stuff with audio. So...tweak, DIY, change things around -- have fun by doing stuff without feeding a consumeristic habit. (Why is the ideal often portrayed as just doing nothing? That's not human nature. We need interaction. Nothing wrong with it and calling it "OCD" is not accurate.) |
I like to tinker. Many on this Forum do. In a nut shell that’s it. Sometimes a new purchase is thrilling until it’s not. tvad is right. Stop reading all this (in hopes of mining a golden life changing kernel of knowledge). For many, albeit slowly and expensively, this Forum is helpful and fun to learn about other equipment or share something we are passionate about. Some of my top takeaways. 0.) Everyone here is a music lover and their zeal drives all of this. 1.) Whole house sure protector. 2.) Deal with dirty power and RF inference. 3.) Move your speakers 4.) Nothing wrong with vinyl or digital if done right. Each to their own taste. |
