Would anyone respond???

To most, this is a hobby and change is a must. I'm not really sure how many listen to music and how many listen to equipment.
I play around with a lot of stuff but for actual listening I have a set system to do that with.

I'm happy with my main system. Problem is I collect vintage audio from several manufacturers so there's always something coming and going.

Best,

Paul :-)

I am happy with my system. Perhaps if I knew more at the time I would have went the SE path. However 15 years ago there wern't as popular as they are today, along with the selection of speakers. Everything was good ol' fashioned class-AB. I really enjoy my Proac Responce-2 and cannot see a 5 watt SE amp driving them. If you decide to by good audio equiptment at the start that you are happy with, upgrading is not needed. If you are not happy with your initial purchase, you must ask yourself why did you spend the money in the first place.

I was right there last week. It lasted for about a day and a half. Everything sounded great. And suddenly my ears gave way to my brain (such as it is) and I thought what if I........? Now I've got a couple of things on the "Gon and I'm huntin' for some other stuff. I gotta the feeling was great while it lasted:--))

I'm very, very, very happy with my system with a few caveats: 1) I believe the front end power can be cleaner via conditioners, pc's, etc., 2) I'd like to spend more time on acoustic treatments, 3) I'd like to do more work on isolation / decoupling, and 4) I'd like to supplement my digital front end with a higher end single disc player that also does SACD. Technically, I'd be changing just about everything other than my existing components ;-) Does that count?

Honestly, I love my system and am finding it hard to go to bed at night since I don't want to stop listening to music. Nonetheless, there is so much more to music reproduction than the components themselves. I think there are two general areas of focus in the land of audiophiledom: the system itself and the system environment, which includes the first three factors I mentioned plus things like room layout and speaker placement. My focus now is on the system environment. If I keep improving that, I may never get any sleep ... but what the heck!
