Casual listening

I feel I’ve finally “come out the other side,” blessedly.  
I was never a tech/mechanical guy.  
I ended up going down the audio rabbit hole because I was ignorant at the time, took the wrong steps in fixing what were very simple/cheap problems, and fell deeper and deeper into the audio rabbit hole.  
That hole that took me out of doing what I loved (loving music) and into obsessing over sound.  
I have a remarkably good ear for music, and have an extremely high sensitivity to sound in general. Combine this with a predilection towards obsessiveness, and I was in trouble. Not good for a few challenging, way-too-expensive (expense in money, sanity, time and effort) years.  
All this money and time spent caused me to understand things I didn’t before, so it wasn’t all for naught.  
Now I feel I can simultaneously manage my low tolerance for poor fidelity and still just enjoy the damn music, which is about as good as it can be for me, I suppose.
