Great Thread!
I am one of the late 60's / early 70's group that has got back into stereo after a few decades away from it. What a great hobby and it is really nice to be able to sit down and disappear into the music for a while when time allows.
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
I am just enjoying my system. I am in awe of what an audio system can be. I have been listening to Bill Evans in the 60’s and 70’s on my system (see my userId). Having relentlessly pursued the high end for fifty years, alway stretching to achieve the next level. It is so rewarding to have a system that completely surprises and delights me each time I listen to it. What a treat…personally, really well worth the thousands of hours and dollars to achieve it. At 70, glad I did it.

@ghdprentice My hat is of to you my friend. I’m 62 and I hope that I can achieve your level of satisfaction or bliss at 70. I’ve been at this since I was a young boy. I’m inspired! |
Great thread---I've been in the audiophile world for about 30 years. My first 10-15 years was a swap fest with different gear, etc, since I had close friends at a local hifi shop. Then I settled down with my older system (now vintage) for quite a few years before the bug bit me again about 3 years ago. I bought some new gear for my reference system and started getting new gear for my 'fun' system. What I'm starting to learn is that I'm listening more to my fun system than my reference. Interesting how this turned out---I may make another post about this later. |
@bluorion I'd love to hear more about the differences between your "fun" and "reference" systems! Please post a thread about it. I'm especially curious about what defines those categories for you. |
