'When does it stop?', best to ask your wife when she will buy her last pair of shoes. For a wife to make that comment she admitting to have about 100 pair of shoes in the closet now, with more to follow. We audiophiles found out long ago it is about the journey. Hey, I've been at this since 1955. Still 'on the road'.
journey,destination,endpoint?
Where are you in your audiophile journey? Mine began in 1968 with my brother and I investing in a AR tuntable, AR speakers and Dynaco amp. After a hiatus of twenty years to get educated, raise kids and put them through professional schools I resumed my journey after meeting a fellow Audiogoner. With his guidance, my system as evolved through four different amps, four premaps, four cd players and four different pairs of speakers and numberous tweeks most through trading on the Gon. My wife asked a profound question: " When does it all stop? Is all the tweeking and seeking ever gong to end? Can't you be satified with what you have?" As I reflected on her question, I asked myself: What is my (your) endpoint? Or, is there and endpoint? Are you having more fun in the process or have you reached your sonic "enlightment'? If you have "arrived" then how?
