After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.

With age comes wisdom........Why are many of us "older" music lovers moving from SS to putting Tubes in our Hi Fi rigs.... Heck, I even have a tube in my Audio Mirror DAC......The music my friends...it's All about the Music........

+1 Well, in my case I was really slow to get my priorities straight…

Snuck into my Uncle's basement in 1959 when I was 10 and he was relaxing to some new fangled Stereo LP's.

The room was dark except for the glow of tubes; the sound was everywhere, like a blanket on me.  He was playing jazz and I felt the performers were in the room with us.

When he turned the lights on I saw these massive speakers (Klipschorns),,,, I've been hooked ever since.

Great audio has been available for a long, long time

Great thread!  I turned 70 in December and I have been in this hobby for 50+ years. My current system is not the most expensive that I have put together but it is the most satisfying I have had.  I don't think my hearing is anywhere near what it was 20 years ago but I can still hear great details in my current setup.  We love and enjoy our music and that makes our obsessions worthwhile.
