How does one get off the merry-go-round?


I'm interested in hearing from or about music lovers who have dropped out of the audio "hobby." I don't mean you were content with your system for 6 weeks. I mean, you stood pat for a long time, or--even better--you downsized...maybe got rid of your separates and got an integrated.

(I suppose if you did this, you probably aren't reading these forums any more.)

If this sounds like a cry for help, well, I dunno. Not really. I'm just curious. My thoughts have been running to things like integrated amps and small equipment racks and whatnot even as I continue to experiment and upgrade with vigor (I'm taking the room correction plunge, for example.) Just want to hear what people have to say on the subject.

That is awsome.

Stearmsn,

Are you referring to Roskelly's OTT 5.1 system that I posted?

I hoped it woud get a few comments or push people to find some better pics of OTT systems to post. You know...for fun!
downsize but don't sell out...buy a decent tube integrated, some efficient full-range floorstanding speakers, a good source, nice cabling & concentrate on finding new music. i did this over 2 yrs ago & never looked back.
I am feeling the "done for now" time is nearing since getting active speakers. I do want to try to work on acoustic treatments and possibly a projector but I'm pretty happy otherwise and everything fits in my cabinet. No more tubes, minimal cables, and very dynamic life-like sound. Fun.
In response to the question,in my house,there is no getting off,only getting on.Party on dude,cheers,Bob
