It's part of the audio ceremony, being one of the sacraments (I think it's the fourth or fifth) . When it happens, it should all be done in one setting, taking all the time necessary to do it right.
All the best,

Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment
Does anyone else ever felt this way? My new amp arrived with cables and I want to wait until the weekend to hook it up. I don't want to rush through it after work when it is dark and I am tired - almost rushing to get through it. I want to make it a longer event and have time to listen to my existing system, then do the work to hook it up (a bit of a pain) and then rest and have time to listen to the new amp. Maybe stretch out the fun and be fresh on a Saturday morning. What is everyone's timing / process for installing new gear and the before and after listening?
