...I lost my passion for audio equipment about 10 years ago, but I still have a passion for music.I discovered high end audio and the "underground" review journals in the late 1970s and dove in.
In the early 1980s I moved, met some local audiophiles and we started an audio society that grew to 300 members. I used to help plan the meetings and write a newsletter every month.
Then I reviewed equipment for a magazine for 15 years and finally decided I had listened to enough equipment and wanted to just be able to relax and listen to music for a change.
I was pretty happy with the way my system was sounding and I haven't changed it since then.
The other thing that happened was the iPod my wife and daughter gave me for my birthday some years ago.
I've been loading all of my favorite music from CDs to iTunes (in Lossless) on my computer and hook up the iPod to the dock on my family room surround system to use as background music when we cook, eat, hang out by the pool outside or when I read.
I still spend a few hours a week in front of my big system listening to CDs, mostly new stuff I've discovered or people have loaned me.
Every now and then a couple of buddies come over and we have rock and roll night taking turns picking songs to play, and drinking some good wine.
I still enjoy the crazziness of the hobby here on AA, but don't practice it at home any more.
Hang in there and get the Dunlavys - you have too big a music collection to compromise on less.
There is life and plenty of fun after the equipment swapping ends.
Or you could take up golf...
