RE: Where has everyone gone??

2016 was the first year of my adult life I spent $0 on equipment, absolutely nothing. Since the day I set up my nearfield system (in my systems list) November 2015 I was so taken by the immersive immediate sound that I stopped spending, stopped reading. It wasn't the equipment in the end, it was the room/setup - my little nearfield setup gives me all I want from headphones and all I need from a bigger system, and blends into a room that I want to be in.

AA can kinda work in reverse of what it should - people happy with their systems stop buying, stop reading, stop posting - but it was probably AA in large part that got them there. That said, if I'd seen a post about the setup I have now before I heard it, I'd have written it off - too closed minded. I do kinda miss the hobby aspect of it - but not too much.
