I have came within one piece of my dream system so many times i can't remember them all. One thing or another comes up forcing the sale of this or that. I have been at this 3 years and still am waiting till i'm done!
I'm getting a Belles 250i integrated this week, and will save for an audio aero prima cd player and i am going to forget about audio for a long while....I hope!
Well Im on my third pair of speakers since (1975) turntable, Forsell 1989. Amps, Manley same vintage. Still look at ads but at some point I got satisfied. Diy looks like fun and its less financially intrusive. Sometimes I wonder at all the posts here and on Asylum and wonder when theres time to listen to music (or even dust the system)
There really is no end to the hobby where you achieve some dream sound and come to an end. Like any hobby it's ongoing - been at it for over 30 yrs, but only in the "high end" for about 10. The journey along the way is more fun than achieving some dream sound or system -- lots of equipment-- some better, some worse -- much enjoyment. I think most A'philes drop out or cut back mostly cause of $$ or waning interest.
The true definition of an audiophile has a disclaimer attached in fine print: I will never be content,and will always feel a need to pursue better sound at any cost. Signed-Whatever your name is...........
