Has this ever happened to you?


Has it ever happened to you that you sit down to listen to your system one day and just go “Wow!”, THIS is the sound I have been looking for?  I have recently been hyper focused on incremental improvements that I have been making, and was really just listening to “the sound” of new components or cables but not actually listening to the music.  Recently, I sat down to listen to music, and I am hearing exactly what I had hoped it should like in my listening room.  I am feeling something new for me in this hobby for really the first time - contentment.

Curious the hear about your experiences.

Congratulations on reaching audiophile nirvana.  Yes it has happened to me several times, but not spontaneously.   Rather it has occurred during evaluating or installing component upgrades when I my analytical persona expresses itself.  After some time, my music lover persona resurfaces and I focus on composition and performance, enjoying the music being produced by my system for years since I do not make system changes often.  I do not have audiophile FOMO disorder (fear of missing out on the latest component loved by the press).  I find I can go from my analytical to music lover personas at will, but 90% of the time, the music lover is expressing itself.
