So many people sound like my experience. Sold everything raised my kids. Retired, started over. I'm not rich. I don't have audio stores, a society, or any audiophiles around.
So I bought speakers and had some equipment. And I am such a wise man, I sold all my albums YEARS ago.
So I came here. Sorted through the fights, good and bad advise. Just a couple weeks ago I added a couple "snake oil" tweaks. I finally realize what everybody means. The music sounds full, rich and involving. I get goosebumps. I keep saying I'm done.
