Is it time to see a shrink?

Recently,I bought a used Krell CDP KAV 280 in SILVER. It is in excellent condition except for two little marks on the side. IT sounds wonderful to my ears BUT I am irriated most of the time looking at its silver color from certain angles and most of all it does not look good with the BLACK Krell(s) I owned. I know I hate those "grey" old Krell look and silver could be beautiful but I still have problem to love the SILVER so I decide to sell it to buy a SACD Standard in BLACK even though I don't listen to SACD often. Does any one have the same issue ?

hi andrewdoan:

perhaps you asked a rhetorical question.

i will assume you are asking a question for me to answer.

if i am wrong please forgive me.

its all an illusion. the mind fills in what is missing from your stereo system. that's why listening to a table radio is just as statisfying, as far as appreciation of music is concerned. obviously, a table radio may not compete with a stereo system with respect to the usual audiophile criteria.

the person is more important than the stereo system as far as receiving the benefits of listening to music.

Where does reality fit into this illusion? If you get right down to it, isn't everything an illusion?

Nice to see you here again Mrtennis, my brain was getting a little out of shape !!!

Whatever is important to you is important to you and if the silver is bothering you then u really don't have to ask anyone.

Thats why I don't buy Krell products.Apparently no one told you about the tiny transmitter in all their products that produces a microwave which confuses/irritates the chip implant you were made with.Well,its been nice,got to go,off to see my shrink,can't be late you know....though,possibly its already too late....

I think it is the name, "Krell". Just sounds irritating...

Krell makes great gear, just believe in that.
