New equipment

Just as I was smugly listening to and very much enjoying my MUSIC, I went and bought a new piece. At first, I was so happy with the improvement it made.  But then the audiophile monster came lurking.  I was not listening to the music anymore. I was listening to the SYSTEM.  And, of course, there’s always something that can be better.

KISS OF DEATH!

It’s taking me a while to get back to the music again.  Writing this is a good step.

BEWARE of new equipment.

ghdprentice,

I’ve been at this game for a very long time.  
I keep falling into the same trap and extricating myself.

roxy54,

I’m saying that once I start listening only to the sound of  my system, I lose sight of the music.

Well maybe audio is like sailing to you… it is about the process, not the destination. 
 

I like sailing but in audio I cherish the destination when all the pieces are at the same performance level, are synergistic, and I am out of money… which happens every time.

I like the destination too.
After my little (or big) diversion I think I’m there. (again!)
