Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?

And your evidence that Spotify works 6-ft under or auditory functions persist post-death is where?

@unreceivedogma It is great that you are happy with your system! 

I think this is kind of a mood thing but some of us may  need to actively decide to be happy with what we got. And we may of couse change mood a couple of years later.

I do think you should try a newer cd though, a lot have happened on that front in 35 years.

Get the best audio and enjoy the best music. Hobbies portrays our soul so never let it go. Just have fund and enjoy what you've got, and improve what must be improved.

I did not anticipate that afterlife sound systems would be subject to peer review. 

Your current bare-bones system would fit there perfectly.
