AA for us


Is there such a place for us audiophiles: Audiophile's Anonymous? I feel that at this point that I am showing all signs of an addict and I am no longer a functioning addict, unfortunately. 

The only upside is that it is distracting me from other harmful activities such as watching the news x hours a day.

@bolong. Got it.... I feel this is hobby to me is more like gambling. I keep going back and losing devil

@bolong ....'speed dating '...

Sounds like what we used to try to do...;)

Curious about the success rate is v the blind luck of the draw 

most go through ..

Lucky or Doomed *L*

Anyway...

@grislybutter I tossed the towel in some 20ish years ago, 

It became apparent that the cutting edge of audiophilia and the 

that needed to keep that edge up was becoming less 

appealing to throw $'s at. 

Already Napster-clones, file sharing, digital diddling,

space equalizing with calibrated mics was a helluva lot 

more affordable than a Krell or Apogee anything.

Besides, in some way it's more of a challenge to

attempt the improbable and pull it off.... ;)

... just noting that the power here will be at least a

week away... water is mutating into a daily "Potable OR no" 

ritual.

My light is a 3D flash with a tall empty Rx amber bottle 

adding a 'tres chic Disaster Zone 'glow' ' to this space..

Which is measuring 18db...3 more if I breathe 

... delicious dark for another mystery treat...

I have a few reviewers I tend to trust. Jay's Iyagi's ears are close to mine. He has made some misguided comments in the past, but overall I trust his commentary. Steve Guttenberg is another reviewer I follow routinely.

Gutenberg is a promoter, not a reviewer, as I read somewhere was his own admission.

His last youtube post about the KLIPSCH OJAS speaker was funny. Unintentionally
