Day by Day.
Happy Listening!
the one that got away - how do you handle grief?
I just lost a bid for my dream speakers that I had been chasing for a decade. It was pretty stupid because I missed the last hour and maybe I would have won it with another $100. But maybe it's a sign, it's just a piece of hardware, that I should not be obsessed with. - "you can't always get what you want"
Did you always get the gear you thought would make you whole?

I've got a few speakers on my bucket list that I ultimately let get away because they're farther away than I'm willing to drive to and then I promise myself Next time! and on it goes. More recently I'm noticing things like component synergy, sizing speakers to room, placement and how the listening room has a tendency to give speakers a similar tonal balance that takes away a little bit of that thing that set them apart from the rest. I'm winding down my quest for the holy grail. |
About 12 years ago or so I had a pair of reference 3A deCapo's that I loved and loved and then decided to go into floor standards and of the next 4 or 5 years just went down one unhappy experience after another. And then I got a chance to obtain another pair of reference 3A decapos about 4 years ago and have no urge to ever look back again. Well, I guess if I could afford audio notes. But I can't. |
@faustuss you are not wrong. I exaggerated when I used the word grief. My English is based on assumptions. It's not my first language. |
