Don't do anything!


A couple months ago I posted a question on the forums that I was looking for the next level of imaging from my system and was contemplating better speakers.  As per usual there were many responses of varying degrees advice.

Since then I have done nothing to pursue this next level.  The reason for my inaction - my system is breaking.  What I mean by that is I had made a few upgrades to my system  - which were new power cable for the amp, newer speaker cables and finally a cartridge that has about 150 hrs on it. All of these changes are moving from the break in stage into what they can do for better sound.  So now my system is maturing and delivering on what I am looking for.  So the moral of the story is - leave it alone, stop tweaking.  Let your system evolve.

Thanks for the advice fellow music lovers!

I've heard of these kinds of experiences. So  you're saying that today you play some music & believe that it sounds noticeably better than it did yesterday? Or this month sounds better than last month? I have no idea how it's possible to hear something today & be able to compare it in your brain with something you heard yesterday or last month & determine that it's noticeably better. Assuming that if there is actually any change it's a slow improvement day by day, the ability to  suddenly compare with a previous month seems unbelievable.

@dwcda  it happens to me all the time, from day to day, without changing a thing  and i have no idea why.  sometimes i just turn off my gear cuz nothing sounds right.  and it really is frustrating.  but that's my reality.
