| Retired audiophile? I do still find audio and music fascinating as well as enjoyable and do have visions of being able to experiment more with different gear and approaches when I retire and have more time, although again on a much smaller scale.Or maybe I'll move on... | |
| Retired audiophile? I'm still about 10 years from retirement more or less.I always stop once it sounds right to me. It does currently. Hopefully it will stay that way for awhile, but nothing stays the same forever.I suspect I will downsize at some point, especially i... | |
