Sorry, @mrdecibel .  I guess I started getting sarcastic after it appeared to me as if you were telling me that I was not listening correctly and not hearing what I am pretty sure I was hearing. Anyway, sorry for being sarcastic.  
Oh my goodness!
@mrdecibel  Mr D hit it out of the ballpark about dedicated listening rooms. Without it you are shooting darts without a target trying to achieve sound nirvana with equipment alone. I guess it's okay to listen to the room instead of the "perfo...

When I listen to my system.......
Back when I was drinking and/or indulging in the recreational use of illicit and licit drugs while I was listening, my standards were different.    
Oh my goodness!
Every so often I actually buy some lottery tickets, and for a short time therefater I fantasize about what I’d do with a few million: Buy a bigger house that has suitable listening room. Hire an electrician to put in a few circuits in that room,...

I have thought of several approaches, to figure out how to have any budget - like putting x bucks a day in a piggy bank would let me proceed with a nice upgrade plan - but that's for another thread. Easy credit and bad debt is still another sol...

Sounds like you’re content and that’s what counts in life to me. Many people have little and are happy and many have much and are miserable. Being content is the biggest blessing I can think of. He freely gave to charity, he had the common touc...
