Would anyone respond???

We really have two hobbies here.

1...Some people are music lovers, and just want a system that allows them to hear the music. They don't upgrade often.

2...Some people are interested in the technology. They are always experimenting.

There is no reason why you can't have both hobbies. Both are valid.

I feel a change in Audio winds... After years of Big Balls SS amps, I feel the "Want" to play with 300B, & flea-power SET tube gear. The desire to build my own Single Driver, & Horn variety high db efficiency speakers is also present now!?! The Force is strong like Luke Skywalker being drawn over to the Dark Side! The Mapletree Audio amps, & amp kits, are looking good too. So I think in the future there will be a whole crap load of new gear, heading in, & out of my listening rooms. So since Slappy changed his name to "Sigh", & "AudioPimp" is already taken.?.?. I will from now on only answer to "Mr. Bling-Bling", till I find my perfect SET sound? But in the end, it is still all about the Music, not the Gear!

I am very happy with my gear and have no plans to replace anything.

After I steal componants from TWL I usually keep them for five years too!

ive been happy with the overall sound of my rig for some time now but for me half the fun is getting to try out new gear.

if somthing happened today that caused my finances not to allow upgrades i would be completly happy .
