Hiatus

@rvpiano 

As I’ve aged, I can’t sit still that long anymore, although I try for one album a day.  Having said that,  I have music playing 4-8 hours a day, even if it’s just on ear buds.
I do still love finding that album where I can sit, close my eyes and smile from start to finish.

All the best.

Thats funny. As I have aged, I find I can finally sit down for extended lengths of time. My watch is always telling me it has been an hour and that I should get up. I can ignor it easily for and hour or more.

Thanks. I've gone through the same thing. Unfortunately, several times!

But you are spot on. A good reminder.

it is the first time in my life i had not one but two systems well embedded...

For casual listening without end on speakers or sacred listening  i am on headphone...

Music experience fill the space and the sound defects and upgrading  audio gear choices are no more in my sight choices...

The only difference with me with  my low cost systems compared to obsessed people is synergy between components and good mechanical,electrical and acoustical embeddings...

When sound manifest at his optimal through a system/room it disapear into music experience...

Glad you found your way back to the music!

I think Audiophilia attracts certain types of people. Men for one, but with analytical skills, a love of nuance and subtlety, lots of cuiousity, and definitely somewhat obsessed. Depending on where you are on the scale of obsessed will probably determine if you get dragged too far.

There’s nothing quite like getting "dragged too far" as a way of learning when to back away from obsession.

Likewise, if you haven’t heard your system pushed in directions you don’t like, how can you discover what you do like?
