Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa?

I tried to find out about Miss Audiophile Nervosa. Who is she? The name sounds Italian and might be the ideal companion for an audiophile. Ooops ... I forgot I'm married already....scratch that one.

Just as well Shadorne, she is the true "femme fatale". I dated her for a while and she almost ruined me. But oh, what bliss while it lasted. I now date a fat middle-aged lady by the name of Squeaky BOSE. She smells of junk food, but instead of Miss Nervosa who cost, Squeaky Bose pays ME. (She doesn't know, that I always switch off my hearing aid, when I go to meet her)

YEP I do miss it… just like I miss a deep sunburn and spilling hot coffee on my lap.

I do remain intrigued however with some aspects of system ins and outs I’ve not yet tried… like for instance putting together a nice SET rig… or checking out the diffs from passive AC filtration to an active one….

Or perhaps owning an analog system that is fully automatic… including getting the album off the shelf and putting it back…. I’m pretty sure it’s too expensive to get into though. ;o)

Past the above the main irritation is finding out the chain gang of audio intrigue is just a symptom of a deeper issue…. So I’ve simply replaced the audio obsession with a ‘home improvement’ one… I’ll have to drag this one out too, for afterwards I have no idea what to obsess on then! Radio controlled airplanes came to mind, but not for very long. The take off would have to be amazing! ‘Cause then they would all disappear! They don’t make boomerang airplanes do they?

Hey! Boomerangs! I’ll need a helmet I suppose… and some nice gloves… maybe a nice tote. Wonder what color? Should they all be engraved? and then, how about.....???

I do miss the nervosa...I quit having it after I spent some serious (for me) dough on CJ CA-200 and some Proac D'25's. But then I figure, to better this set-up, it would take the kind of money I don't have

Just bought a fixer upper c/w owning horse that is a far more expensive hobby than the hi-fi, so although I scan the 'for sale' section on a regular basis, thinking 'oh yes', the reality is 'oh no'.lol
