New equipment


Just as I was smugly listening to and very much enjoying my MUSIC, I went and bought a new piece. At first, I was so happy with the improvement it made.  But then the audiophile monster came lurking.  I was not listening to the music anymore. I was listening to the SYSTEM.  And, of course, there’s always something that can be better.

KISS OF DEATH!

It’s taking me a while to get back to the music again.  Writing this is a good step.

BEWARE of new equipment.

@rvpiano My last comment was in jest, not making fun of you. We've all been there, heck I'm there right now. Tweaking my digital front end like a crackhead 😂.

After I get my Sbooster LPS with the Ultra filter for my Qutest next Tuesday I'm putting the pipe down for a while. 

I think most go through cycles where we chill out and just enjoy our systems, then we get the itch to push it even further. It's part of the fun, and insanity of this hobby. As long as the periods of enjoyment FAR outweigh the upgrade periods, it's fine.

Best of luck with your system!

@oddiofyl    I will trade a little detail for a lot of texture and tone any day. 

Agreed!

My mindset and approach for a very long time.

LOL... I feel for you sir. About four years ago I changed "one little thing" then went on a two year hunt and wound up changing everything but my TT and speakers.

Oh well...🙄

Happy listening!
