How competitive are you with your system?

My system was down all day and I asked "what’s wrong?"

"I am the worst,  even a soundbar can beat me" it said. "I wish we were more competitive" 

My system challenges me to a fight every time i turn it on.

We have a saying in our house- “comparison is the thief of joy”. So I don’t compare and my kids don’t compare to other kids and their families. It works very well. 

@goodlistening64  Thanks for the nudge.  I’m not sure I’ve got the same passion for golfing anymore, but maybe I’ll give it another shot.  I’d have to dust off the clubs and see if my swing still works!

I've had the Lintons set up that way in my living room for a while. In my case, the missing piece was the right DAC—something I hadn’t been able to find until I finally settled on the Topping D90 III Discrete and the Harmony micro DAC.  It’s great to know you’ve also endorsed a similar setup. 

I enjoy music. Always have. Blessed to be able to indulge myself in some good stuff in my retirement. Wow! What fun! I have some upgrades in mind, but the end point is very close and I’m really not interested in impressing anyone else except myself. 
Cheers to all. Unfortunately we are a dying breed.
