Yes. I don't think I am a true addict. Enthusiast, yes, but not addicted. I liken it to the difference between folks who regularly drink too much but are not addicted to alcohol and folks who are true alcoholics. There is a difference, as I am sure many of you know. I am in a very happy place with my current system, however the reliance on electronics technology just to get the right signals to the right places, does make me a little uneasy that my system may not be robust with respect to non-audio matters that could render the whole thing unusable with the next change of data format, etc.
Back in the day, I could hook everything up and take it apart, and now, that is no longer true. I love the functionality, but miss the ability to take the jalopy apart onto the garage floor and put it all back together again. Yes, there is certainly an automotive analogy here as well.
Analogously yours,
