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.

Yes, insightful and good food for thought. This is why initial short duration A/B audio product comparisons can be at times  potentially misleading and deceptive.

My personal experience is that if I find myself listening to the equipment instead of the music when I get a new component, it isn't the right component.
