Hiatus


Being an addicted audiophile for many (too many) years, I found myself analyzing every parameter of my system and enjoying it less. I started listening less and less until I stopped listening altogether. 
I'm not sure how long the hiatus was, but when I gradually came back to it, I returned as a music lover again.  
How  surprised I am now at how beautiful the music sounds when NOT listening  for audio niceties.  This is true not only when listening to great sounding recordings but also to non audiophile releases, and enjoying them for the music despite whatever deficiencies they present. Even these latter recordings have some positive sonic  qualities that my system produces.

 This is what enjoying your system is all about.

Some get sucked down the rabbit hole like Alice.

Have to keep it all in context. For me it is about music, not the arms or gear race. I find that I am spending more time on small refinements and selling the stuff we do not use anymore. 
 

If you spent $500 and it sounds good to you, then stop and listen to the roses. 😉
