If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…


Audiogon and the audio press, I mean. I finally have the system I was aiming for and had imagined for my future, as conjured from the cryptic pages of stereophile etc. — incredible transparency, scale, and ‘realness’ — but whenever I’m drawn to these sites/pages, as I have been for two years, I am confronted again with doubt and a vague longing for ‘perfection’ in a new purchase. I just want to enjoy the music.

Im ready for the audiophile exit ramp, and this ain’t it…

I just bought the amp and speakers of my dreams, not to mention a new TT and cartridge.

I tell myself I'm done, but since they're not here yet I feel like I haven't even started.

I'm sure this thread will make more sense to me in about 6 months.
@redwoodaudio thanks!

All hobbies are money pits but as long as you’re not falling into the other addition like behavors, it’s just a hobby, not an addiction.

--Damaging relationships with other?

--Doing it while alone?

--Effecting your work?

--Secretiveness.

--Lying.

--Financially unpredictable, perhaps having large amounts of cash at times but no money at all at other times.

Damn! Instead of watching Dancing with the stars with my wife, I load CD’s to my Zenith and read What-Hifi?

I love listening to music alone!

Hasn’t gotten to "work" work yet, but definitely effectiving house work.

I absolutely will never tell my wife how much my new i-amp cost!!!!

Haven’t gotten there yet... Yet!

Still have plenty of money, but feel like I could be doing more with the money I have.

Shit! This is basically an addiction.

But again, all I need is a new TT and then I’m done. Gonna sell everything else off in the great purge.

Good luck everyone!
