The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear

Forget about having the audio itch, upgraditis, or whatever you want to call it - anyone besides myself ever feel like the Wilt Chamberlain of Audio gear?  My brother always said that I change audio gear more than I change my underwear, but in the last 2 years, the addiction has gotten worse I think.  My name is Lou and I’m an audio whore, and I don’t mind it one bit :)

Anyone else care to share?

lou -- bro you are dating yourself... need to say ’tacko fall of high end audio’ 🤣

i prefer to think of myself as a high end escort of audio more than a hooker or a ’ho - i am only on the uptown street corners -- where tube amps hang out... 🤣🤣

but when times are tough i will stroll downtown and do a class d amp or two... 🤣🤣🤣

Are you saying you have been tough 1000's of amps or speakers, or BOTH?

Remember the Chamberlin vs. Lou Alcindor battles?

I thought you are looking for extremely tall speakers!

Wilt  Vs Russell was the battle.  Seemed like every other week.  Not many teams back then.

I am more Erroll Flynn. That sub, she swore she was 18 and sealed, but she looked double-ported, if you know what I mean.

I also thought this was about tall gear and nice to hear the name Wilt Chamberlain what a legend. I say nothing wrong with flipping gear constantly if it makes you happy and you can afford it. There are crazier and more expensive hobbies to be sure.
@mijostyn I beg to differ sometimes newer is better sometimes it's not. Sitting here listening to a sublime sounding 20 year old preamp/amp combo.
