How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.


I have recently listened to the best of Genesis, Dire Straits, Krall, Sinatra, Presley, Miles, Keb Mo, Floyd, Zep, Stones, and so much more, and I am so happy with my system. Why do people need to spend 40K on speakers, and, the same on amplification. Equipment : Modified Adcom GDA 700. Luminous Audio Walker passive , Nuforce STA 200, Modified Klipsch Lascalas, and powered subs ( a secret ). There is absolutely nothing, at this particular time, that I want more of. I have Dynamics, Tone, Coherence, Prat, Imaging, the whole shebang. I sit 10 ft from the speakers, and, I am so " involved " with my recordings, that I cant imagine any one not wanting the sound that I have, for relatively little money. Thoughts ? Enjoy ! MrD.

 It's really very simple. Some of us are addicts. I'd estimate that when we get to the point of reading forums like this, at least 75% of us are looking for a vicarious fix. I remember the first time I got high smoking marijuana. It was awesome; but I never got a high that good again no matter how hard I chased it. And believe me, I tried!

It was the same thing the first time I heard Stax headphones. There was a WOW I am still pursuing. I've gotten similar rushes since then, the first  audition of a $3,000 Primare integrated, replacing a Linn Basik with an Oracle Alexandria, etc. But I'm still chasing that first aural high.

I'm a junkie, and I don't plan on going to rehab.
