It's part of the audio ceremony, being one of the sacraments (I think it's the fourth or fifth) . When it happens, it should all be done in one setting, taking all the time necessary to do it right.
All the best,

Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment
Does anyone else ever felt this way? My new amp arrived with cables and I want to wait until the weekend to hook it up. I don't want to rush through it after work when it is dark and I am tired - almost rushing to get through it. I want to make it a longer event and have time to listen to my existing system, then do the work to hook it up (a bit of a pain) and then rest and have time to listen to the new amp. Maybe stretch out the fun and be fresh on a Saturday morning. What is everyone's timing / process for installing new gear and the before and after listening?

@vinylzone +1. @ghdprentice +1 Unless the unit is delivered in the evening, it’s out of the box , in the rack and hooked up once delivered. Speakers the same thing, up and running , tweaking of position along the way. Whatever the new equipment is replacing I move into my 2nd system, or boxed up for storage or sale earlier the same day.

I’m an upgrader. I love the magic of listening to music but I’m thrilled by the possibility of the next amazing upgrade in SQ. Getting a new component comes after lots of research. So, it’s like Christmas morning and I don’t want the anticipation of wonderment to end. So, yes I stretch out connecting new equipment and enjoy the tease of making myself wait. But not for too long. And then Christmas is over and I play with my new toy happy or disappointed and lament that Christmas is again 364 days away. (Not that I can ever wait that long to create another Christmas morning.) |
