The Sound or Music

"Does that make me not an audiophile?"

Yes it does - since you care about sound.

Public library is great. For a while selection was limited and physical quality (scratches) really bad. Now they have a lot of CDs plus judging by radial marks (when I take CD against light) they use CD shaver/polisher.

Kijanki, I'm glad you mentioned violin. When the violin is just right, everything else is just right.

Mapman, would you rather putz than listen. After you have reached a point where you are in "audiophile heaven", how long do you remain before you have to "putz"?

I suppose until the time comes again where things do not sound right or I think I know how to make an improvement. Until then, I do not touch a thing. The actual time period can vary. Currently, I have not touched anything since my recent amp upgrade a couple months back I suppose. I have gone several years without changing anything in the past.

The thing is any one change can start a chain reaction. My last chain reaction leading up to where I am now started when I gave up on trying to get my Magnepan mg1cs set up properly in my current home after realizing that my little Triangles in my second system running off an old Tandberg tr2080 receiver were outperforming them (and the B&W P6s and original OHM Walsh 2s I also had at the time). That led to major changes throughout the system culminating with the recent amp change, which I had planned to do eventually for about 2 years after acquiring the new, big OHMs.

Mapman, give me a rundown on the big OHMs. Although I have never auditioned a pair, "theoretically", I can not imagine a better speaker.
