AA for us

There is a variety of medication that a psychiatrist can prescribe for OCD. OCD treatment will fix audiophile neuroses.

AA type of events with other audioloons in a room is not gonna fix anything. It may make it worse.

@deep_333 I hope to avoid getting addicted to medication. Man this is a deep hole :)

Some addiction is ok as long as its not abusing your wallet, i.e., if that’s the core source of anxiety.

I have heard every kind of rig at every pricepoint and stuff exceeding a million dollars. But seriously, approx 3000 bucks will get you a good sounding no frills rig these days.

If you want to satisfy the joy of incessant tinkering (addiction) for cheap, get on aliexpress....lots and lots of dirt cheap unheard of kits that sound golden.

Aliexpress has been one rescuer of my marriage for years. The other rescuer would be the other audioloony friends. Ya loan them your things, they loan you theirs, i.e., mutual satisfaction of curiosity/tinker cravings (without wallet abuse). It’s kinda like AA, i suppose.

I also like Haroun - A British Audiophile's rule of thumb when upgradi

It's TARUN (not Haroun or Heroin)...I understand it's not as common as BillyBob or Cheesyslob, but, it's a rather easy name to say. Simply add a TA in front of a RUN, not too hard, right??
