Diminishing Returns


I’ve reached a point, after much tweaking in my system thanks to Audiogon, I’m moving away from the forum. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m so satisfied with my system that further improvements, while I’m sure they will work, I don’t care.  I used to read  with great interest the weekly listing of the most popular posts.  I’m now finding it boring.  I think It’s time to get off the Merry-Go-Round.
Aside from the “Music” posts” that will be it.

I’m amazed at the different responses a small statement can generate . Having met Richard on this site , after he contacted me on the instant message feature . We exchanged thoughts on tube rolling . Richard and I have exchanged tubes on loan, from opposite sides of the US . I found Richard to be interested in learning and a true gentleman. I have made other friends on this site and text almost daily. I’m retired from a profession that left me with PTSD and physical limitations . But instead of being Snarky to most people , I embrace 30 years of 12 step living . I cycle 100 miles a week and ride a couple Harley’s ( one at a time ). I do believe this hobby is very addictive. But like all of you I live for the music and on days I hurt too much to move , I can relax and listen . I guess there will always be “ Window Warriors“. But when the big lock clanks and the door opens wide, they still pee their pants... 
I was gone for years, but have found that I need some mental masturbation since my dog died.
