this hobby is really a big game. I guess in my view, I feel sad for the folk that base their audio system on the amount of money they have spent on it. To me that is buying into the "month by month" marketing of the audio mags and the industry. I mean, CD sound is at its limits, yet we still see the same old "upgrades" happening on an annual basis. It stikes me as very funny where an audio mag writer talks about revisiting a piece of "old" equipment, say 10 + and gets "surprised" by how good it sounds. There will always be those that have to have the latest and greatest but there really is very few truly latest and greatest products. They may sound "different" but really and truly "better"? That is subjective anyway. For the last 3 years I jumped on the band wagon and tried the new and improved but I am now off the BW and am looking for deals on used stuff that others paid full price for, got their fix and are now selling for the latest fix. Great sound can be found pretty easily, its not worth it, to me, to bother to try and get the next 3% "better" for the $ needed to do so. Still let those that need to try and find "live sound" pursue it, it keeps the whole industry going and allows peoople like me to pick up great deals. I mean, trying to get a system sounding like live sound is a great pursuit but I hear very little "live" music that is worth listening to. Anything amplified or processed is already distorted from truly "real" sound so why bother? Now you are on the 12 step to recovery, enjoy the rest of your life. And please let those that want to continue to pursue their reality to do so. This is a hobby and although expensive, does not really hurt anyone.
