How does one get off the merry-go-round?
downsize but don't sell out...buy a decent tube integrated, some efficient full-range floorstanding speakers, a good source, nice cabling & concentrate on finding new music. i did this over 2 yrs ago & never looked back.

Emerson Lake & Palmer, self-titled...played late one nite a few weeks ago. Sometimes when I get into a listening rut, I'll close my eyes and point to a CD jewel case in the rack & then play it, whatever it is.

Sweet sounding SE tube amps under $3K USED
A buddy of mine is running a Cary SLI 80 signature (w/EH KT88's) w/Sonatina III's in triode mode. It's a really nice sounding combo. 
What's your latest "Discovery"
Mark Olson, (formerly of Jayhawks & Creekdippers) "The Salvation Blues" (new June 07) 
Alpha Core Goertz

Ian Hunter, "Shrunken Heads", hard to believe he's close to 70 now... This is one great new '07 release. 
Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ??
Pat Metheny Group (self-titled), Travels, Offramp & beyond the missouri w/haden are my favs. A friend took me to see him near Ft Liquordale in the late 70's & that was it
