In Reply to: Turning in My Audiophile Badge posted by AudioDwebe on January 12, 2011 at 08:56:44:
I got into this crazy hobby over 40 years ago because I wanted to "better" enjoy my growing music collection. At some point the tail began wagging the dog. Now I realize I spent more time reading (on line and print) ABOUT audio than listening TO music. The equipment hobby can certainly be fun but one should realize it if it becomes the dominant activity.
I elected not to attend the CES the past couple of years (I've been at least 15 times) and 18 months ago I began downsizing and refocusing my system to get back into simply enjoying the music. I now find comparative component listening to be tedious and no longer fun. All this has been a rather slow change after so many years of attempting to earn my Audiophile Merit Badges but I think I'm getting there.
No shame in that AudioDwebe.
PS - I will admit having owned Bose 901s (35 years ago) and Duntech Princess (older sibling to the DAL SC-IV) that I am amazed they could be candidates in the same system!
