I guess we're moving in opposite directions right now, at least insofar as home audio is concerned -- you're about to bow out, and I'm hanging out on audio groups after a hiatus, catching up with a decade's progress. But I think the point is that interests can wax and wane, it's no biggie, you just take it as it comes. And while you're in the waning phase, you can still enjoy great sound and great music without worrying about the pursuit of perfect sound. Just get some good speakers, a good amp, some reasonable cables, and an audio server with a PC and a decent DAC or sound card. No more CD's, no more LP's to store and clean -- and sound that's just as good or, in the case of high res, even better. The only real compromise here is the loss of audio as a hobby, because I think we all know that the itch that leads you to assault that final 5% has little to do with the pleasure of listening than it has to do with instincts that were honed when our ancestral apes were making flint knives. No reason to keep at it if it isn't interesting you right now, or if you feel that it's become an obsession or obligation rather than something you enjoy.
