Did I choose the right path?


Some time last year I made a decision about my audiophile future. Being in college and having a extreme budget constraints I went about trying to build a system around some of my dad's old speakers. B&W v202. They are older than I am. Any ways I was new to the game and trying to get into correctly. As fate would have it things came down to a decision, the Peach Tree Nova vs. NAD 326BEE. I chose the latter (based on gut not experience).
Then needing a quality source and headphone amp I bought the Grace m902 and some Lawton la2000 headphones.
I am unhappy now. I have no money left for audio stuff and I am thinking my speakers suck. I feel my system is jumbled and sort of stretched. I need to know. Did I make the right decision on the frontend

There are kit assemble DYI speakers that are very good.
Madisound and Zalytron both have good products.

If you are into equipment then you may want to focus more on the music.

Equipment can ALWAYS be improved.

30 years ago I had a Harmon Kardan receiver, Boston Acoustic speakers, Dual TT, Teac tape deck.......now it is Goldmund and DCS. I bought SLOWLY and mostly **USED** and learned along the way. I have this system now. I still spend more per year on concerts than equipment!!

Find a quality audio store and give yourself time.

Enjoy the music. Listen to a clock radio if you must.
