Changing your tune

I have been an "Audiophile" nut for the past decade (rookie) and have gone through enough gear to get myself in trouble.

Along the way I have made some bold and strong opinionated statements about SS/digital amps/IC's/speakers/digital vs. vinyl etc.. Raving about a certain wire and then later down the road finding that wire to be replaced with yet another wire.

Having gone to all Red Wine Audio gear and a Mac Mini and getting out of vinyl has made me rethink my bold statements in my younger years. Gone is the bold statements of what sounds good and what doesn't.

Now that I am done with my buying and selling days of gear I look forward to buying music and learning from the members on this site in this area. Sad to say I have majored on the gear and not the music.

How many have changed your tune through the years?

System update done.

I am done for now with gear.

I do envy you music heads with your music library and knowledge of different artists and types of music. So $$$ now goes towards music.

Already a whole new world has been opened up to me in this area that was so neglected in the past.

Buy/Rip/ sell.

The RWA Isabella preamp has the Dac built into it.

Yes vinyl does sound better than digital but going into ths Mac Mini thing I was hoping for 90% of the results I was getting out of my analog rig. I am very pleased with the results of this move as I have achieved my goals. Having all my music at my finger tips to me makes up the 10% I am losing to analog.

Yes the whole needle thing (Audio Note IO-Gold) of 2000 hrs. and then a trip to the UK for a $1300.000 retip. It all become to heavy for me and I had to have all the big $$$ analog gear. Sold it and had fun with the excess $$$ and still have a very nice sounding system.
