Changing your tune

I have been an "Audiophile" nut for the past decade (rookie) and have gone through enough gear to get myself in trouble.

Along the way I have made some bold and strong opinionated statements about SS/digital amps/IC's/speakers/digital vs. vinyl etc.. Raving about a certain wire and then later down the road finding that wire to be replaced with yet another wire.

Having gone to all Red Wine Audio gear and a Mac Mini and getting out of vinyl has made me rethink my bold statements in my younger years. Gone is the bold statements of what sounds good and what doesn't.

Now that I am done with my buying and selling days of gear I look forward to buying music and learning from the members on this site in this area. Sad to say I have majored on the gear and not the music.

How many have changed your tune through the years?

Glory,
you get credit for admitting your pig-headedness during your junior years & you get credit for finally maturing & realizing that hi-(sp)end audio is a very subjective hobby/obsession & that 2 people listening to your very own system at the same time will hear differently. So, what works for your system & you does not necessarily work for another + vice-versa.
Welcome to enlightenment - atleast you achieved it during this life-time. Bravo! :-)

It's always hard to tell whether the last buying phase is the end or whether there will indeed be history repeating itself and there will be the continuation of the cylce.

System update done.

I am done for now with gear.

I do envy you music heads with your music library and knowledge of different artists and types of music. So $$$ now goes towards music.

Already a whole new world has been opened up to me in this area that was so neglected in the past.

Buy/Rip/ sell.

Glory, you just had a hurricane rip thru Destin, FL. I had a school friend vacationing there & he was on the beach watching the waves & feeling the strong beach.
How did you fare in the storm??
