How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.


I have recently listened to the best of Genesis, Dire Straits, Krall, Sinatra, Presley, Miles, Keb Mo, Floyd, Zep, Stones, and so much more, and I am so happy with my system. Why do people need to spend 40K on speakers, and, the same on amplification. Equipment : Modified Adcom GDA 700. Luminous Audio Walker passive , Nuforce STA 200, Modified Klipsch Lascalas, and powered subs ( a secret ). There is absolutely nothing, at this particular time, that I want more of. I have Dynamics, Tone, Coherence, Prat, Imaging, the whole shebang. I sit 10 ft from the speakers, and, I am so " involved " with my recordings, that I cant imagine any one not wanting the sound that I have, for relatively little money. Thoughts ? Enjoy ! MrD.

 It's really very simple. Some of us are addicts. I'd estimate that when we get to the point of reading forums like this, at least 75% of us are looking for a vicarious fix. I remember the first time I got high smoking marijuana. It was awesome; but I never got a high that good again no matter how hard I chased it. And believe me, I tried!

It was the same thing the first time I heard Stax headphones. There was a WOW I am still pursuing. I've gotten similar rushes since then, the first  audition of a $3,000 Primare integrated, replacing a Linn Basik with an Oracle Alexandria, etc. But I'm still chasing that first aural high.

I'm a junkie, and I don't plan on going to rehab.
The first step is always admitting that you have a problem..............;-)

Seriously, my goal is to be happy with my gear and addicted to music. My wife is perplexed with the constant flow of used CDs into our mailbox.
Hi Mr D. My system is 13Gs and it’s simple and I love it. I have Mac integrated and an Oppo Cd dvd player and two SVS subs and ultra towers and 10,000 albums but they on on a small Node 2 streamer that sounds fine(Tidal) . I don’t buy and sell, I buy preowned carefully and and keep. I have a wife who doesn’t get it and although I have dollars, I need to live on them(67 years old and retired) I also have another expensive passion, Porsche’s. I have to pick and choose. I want to leave my kids money also. 
I love that you are happy, I’m happy too when I park my 911 and hit the tunes. Jazz and blues are alive and well.  Jmy
