If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…

Audiogon and the audio press, I mean. I finally have the system I was aiming for and had imagined for my future, as conjured from the cryptic pages of stereophile etc. — incredible transparency, scale, and ‘realness’ — but whenever I’m drawn to these sites/pages, as I have been for two years, I am confronted again with doubt and a vague longing for ‘perfection’ in a new purchase. I just want to enjoy the music.

Im ready for the audiophile exit ramp, and this ain’t it…

@cd318 --

Unfortunately we seem to be infected by a virus for which there is no known cure.


I'm hoping taking a step back from the sites will help a bit, but we'll see.

I’ve always considered audiophilia to be a disease.

Like myself you seem to have an addictive personality and triggers can send your mind into too much rumination.  Your best bet is to go cold turkey, then figure out how much you’ll like to invest in our hobby.

The race is endless and could be destructive for some so it’s important to learn how to get pleasure and satisfaction from things you love.
