Go outside. See what's out there........
If that doesn't work, shop for new music and play all the new stuff when you get the amp back.

Audio withdrawal
I experienced the audiophile's worst nightmare today. A component (NuForce reference 9 mono block amplifier) went bad. It's made by a company which has gone out of business and has no referring repair service.
My local stereo repair shop was not sure they could fix it.
My system is fine tuned to just the way I like it, and I didnt want to start over with the nightmare of mixing and matching components until I found just the right combination.
After extensive Googling, I managed to find the one person in the universe who is qualified to repair my amp, an ex NuForce employee. I sent it off today.
My problem is It's going to take a week or two before it comes back and I'm already in audio withdrawal.
Trying to find something to do, I'm writing this post.
Anyone have other suggestions?

Time for some headphone listening. It’s where I started (re-started) my audio journey for no other reason than budget constraints. Headphones, IEMs, Amp/DACS, and playback sources are enjoying real growth so there’s plenty of good values to be had for a few hundred dollars to get you through the downtime. And, who knows?, you might start another branch to your enjoyment of this hobby. Then again, there’s some awesome gear available for a few thousand too. Good luck. |
