I'm done Really


I can't tell you how many times I've said that. I said it about six months ago when I bought a new amp. Well...I just bought another amp. The same one I had about a year and a half ago (the wife loves it when I do that). I love this hobby, but why must I constantly tweek & replace equipment?

Surely I'm not the only one.

Part of my addiction is this site. I just come here to look around, then I see someone recommends this cable and someone recommends that mod, then I see a deal in the classifieds that if I don't jump on immediately, I'll surely never get the chance again.

I always tell me wife, "at least it's not drugs or women".
Which one did you upgrade, the TAD 150 or the McCormick DNA?
I´ve gone to an integraded and couldn´t be happier... no itch to upgrade yet... (been 6 weeks).
No itch to replace the TAD 150 yet. I replaced the McCormack, with another McCormack. I know have the one I used to have. I went back to a DNA 1 from the DNA 0.5. Much better low end control with the Vandersteens. Now I really want to send it to SMC Audio for upgrades AND I want to go to the Vandersteen 3a's from 2ce's. But that's a ways off. We've got a couple of trips planned over the next few months, so I'm done. REALLY!
Arni-
What integrated did you go with? I've always liked integrated amps, in theory. I know there are some very nice ones out there, but I've yet to find one that I liked as much as separates, dollar-for-dollar. My McCormack, TAD combo cost me about $1500. If I could find an integrated for that price, that has as much power and sounds as good, I'd buy it. I wish McCormack made an integrated, I really like the sound of his amps.
Is there "Twelve Step Program for Audiophiles"? When will we be "tired of being tired" and acknowledge there are greater powers than ourselves? (No insult meant for our recovering audiophiles.) I await the wit and wisdom of the eager mob...
