New equipment

😊👍

I don’t know where you are in the disease. But if this is in the construction of your first great system @dweller is correct. There is a lot of shuffling needed to build your first satisfying system. But once you get there it is worth it. Then you can just enjoy the music for a few years.

The second after a time can be frustrating… but quicker than the first. By the third time with far greater knowledge,,. Typically it can be more structured and quicker.

What did you get? Are you saying it isn't what you expected and you're no longer enjoying the music, or that you just need to get used to the new difference? I'm confused.

ghdprentice,

I’ve been at this game for a very long time.  
I keep falling into the same trap and extricating myself.

roxy54,

I’m saying that once I start listening only to the sound of  my system, I lose sight of the music.

Well maybe audio is like sailing to you… it is about the process, not the destination. 
 

I like sailing but in audio I cherish the destination when all the pieces are at the same performance level, are synergistic, and I am out of money… which happens every time.
