If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…


Audiogon and the audio press, I mean. I finally have the system I was aiming for and had imagined for my future, as conjured from the cryptic pages of stereophile etc. — incredible transparency, scale, and ‘realness’ — but whenever I’m drawn to these sites/pages, as I have been for two years, I am confronted again with doubt and a vague longing for ‘perfection’ in a new purchase. I just want to enjoy the music.

Im ready for the audiophile exit ramp, and this ain’t it…

@4afsanakhan —thank you, it’s a refuge for sure, and sounding better than ever.  Now I just have to relax and enjoy it without raiding my savings even further or even fantasizing about how the latest $8k speaker cables will enhance it…

I just bought the amp and speakers of my dreams, not to mention a new TT and cartridge
congratulations!

I'm sure this thread will make more sense to me in about 6 months.

Be prepared!

try to monetize several pieces into one really nice piece to lower my box count.

good strategy, I’ve done the same, although the purchase always precedes the selling :(  Do you still have the itch to tweak?

It's sort of like a heroin addiction if your habit was limited by your income and you could sell your old heroin

I think used heroin may be worth more than the gear I’m selling now 😭, sadly
Hello,
It sounds like you need a new power cables and some IsoAcoustic or Townshend gear. I say get demoing. What else have you got going on?
