OMG. What now?
After all the listening, the buying, the seeking, the reading, the tweaking, the testing, the critiquing, the latest trend, and the old forgotten mend… my system sounds wonderful - to me.
I’m enjoying the music without thinking about this thing, that thing, the worst thing, the next thing, the best thing… another thing. But I just know there’s something better!
That’s it. It’s the ultimate blessing or, dare I say it, the ultimate curse. I’ve reached the end of the audiophile’s dilemma. Or have I? What now? So,
1. I’m not using a preamp between my digital source and my amp. Both are outstanding, so do I really need one?
2. Where’s the best place to sell my used stuff?
3. What’s the most obvious “weak link” that’s holding my system back from a yet undiscovered audiophile music nirvana?
We all here suffer the same neuroses, so any help is appreciated.
to @hilde45 ’s comment i would venture to say that for serious audiophiles, thoughtful and introspective about the pursuit, another added bonus of spending time maximizing musical enjoyment through system improvements very often leads one to think hard about, informally question, and learn about our own psychology, our perceptions, our biases, how we deal with happiness and negativity, etc etc such awareness, learnings can then be applied to other aspects of our lives, for the better...

just enjoy the moment(s)
you don't need one
us audiomart (it's free to sellers), audiogon attracts some different buyers, but there is a cost to sellers
you haven't disclosed your system or your room, so no one can answer you |
