Is there an end.......ever?


Well I am nearing the point where I am happy with the sound of my system, and starting to funnel my funds into software. I have a modest CD collection and with all of the music out there that I want I don't think I will be happy with my software for a very long time(if ever!). So the question is: are any of you out there happy with the size of your music collection that is to say not buying much if any?

For the record I have 1000+ cd's and could easily make that 5 fold, if I had the money burning a hole in my pocket that bad :) and I am sure I would have missed many "must haves" it is a curse!! Any thoughts please share.

No.....there is never an end to the joy that fresh, new, music can bring. as much as i enjoy my system and it's performance i get the most satisfation from connecting with a new artist....when that happens i will search out other recordings by that artist and explore what that brings.

i also enjoy comparing formats and different masterings so i have many titles in numerous versions and formats.

so far that process has resulted in 3200 cds, 2800 lps, and 245 sacds......growing daily......my pace has diminished somewhat since the new music being produced recently is mostly junk.

recently i have "connected" with "Norah Jones" and the band "Nickle Creek". these cds are excellent.....but i may buy 5 or 6 cds to "find" one that i really connect with.

when you think about it......the possibility of finding another "Eva Cassidy" or "Patricia Barber" (or Heifetz) tomorrow is one of the most exciting aspects of our hobby.
