I've tried or listened to just about everything from A to Z in my 30+ yrs as an audio hobbiest. For the last 4 yrs I've stuck with a couple of Dynaco CDV2's, a couple of PAS4's, a couple ST-80 tube amps and a couple ST-160 tube amps. Using some Ev Aristocrats and Marquis. I have reached my zenith in my search for the holy grail of audio. The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. No more merry-go-round for me.
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I'm interested in hearing from or about music lovers who have dropped out of the audio "hobby." I don't mean you were content with your system for 6 weeks. I mean, you stood pat for a long time, or--even better--you downsized...maybe got rid of your separates and got an integrated.
(I suppose if you did this, you probably aren't reading these forums any more.)
If this sounds like a cry for help, well, I dunno. Not really. I'm just curious. My thoughts have been running to things like integrated amps and small equipment racks and whatnot even as I continue to experiment and upgrade with vigor (I'm taking the room correction plunge, for example.) Just want to hear what people have to say on the subject.
