Is it really the system?


It’s been going on for years now. One of these, two of those, another yadayada… and I’m done. But then you find out you aren’t quite done after all.

Not yet. Not quite…

Is it a slippery sound you chase? A finite exceptional tonality which continues to elude? Is your happiness continually percieved to be in a thing still on the horizon, and not yet in the nest?

Is there indeed a light at the end of the tunnel, or is it a train?

Why keep pressing onward if by so many accounts and your own, the current system’s presentation is great now?

Or in other words perhaps, Enthusiast, Audiophile, or Gear hound? Just where do you hang your hat?

Or have you indeed hung it up for good?

After 20 or so years, all of which started with a pair of ADS speakers and a Hafler kit for amp and pre, I am done.

I have not changed a thing since purchasing my speakers...and although I toy with the idea of moving up the product line of VA speakers, I still stay put. And since NuForce produced the V2 board, no need to look beyond my current amps.

I will say that being a "reviewer", I get to play with new and different stuff a lot which seem to quash and desire to move on....

It is really great when all you have to do is listen to music and not think of terms of "what is next"...

Good luck, jtb
