AA for us

I usually get the first 20% completely messed up and then it's all downhill from there. 

As the saying goes, if you can't get all the components together right, might as well be listening to a boombox.

+1 Unfortunately you are correct. I have a friend that just chooses components individually… and doesn’t get the concept of synergy, and is stubborn, not listening to advice. He has a +$50K system that literally does not sound as good as a boom box. Absolutely no bass, lifeless. He occasionally buys another $10K piece and is disheartened all over again and just lets it sit in the living room unused. I could fix it in a day by swapping two components.

You have interesting stories. I guess everyone has to find their own way. As someone said hi-end audio is 90% BS. You just have to find the 10% that isn't to you.

Yeah last month $625 in cds and albums...then this month $677 albums n cds...that's a,problem. 

I can help @limomangus - as soon as I find my own sponsor
