About 20 years ago, I used to be in the business, working for a boutique, high-end retailer. This gave me an endless supply of new toys to test, tinker with -- and sometimes -- buy, at dealer cost. It was a fun job for a while, but ultimately, I soured on the hobby by making it my vocation and my interest in audio fizzled. There was even a period when my system, packed in boxes, sat dormant for 4-5 years. Like you, there was a spark that re-ignited my interest. For me, it was home theater. That, in turn, pointed out the need to update a system that had earned "vintage equipment" status. And so about two years ago, I got the hifi bug again. Since then, my system has been constantly evolving, with components of my old system comprising a smaller and smaller percentage of my active equipment list. I think the SB and new DAC have helped close the loop on upgrading my digital front end... for the moment ;-). A few more relatively minor investments remain, and then I'll be cured of upgrade-itis for a while. At which point, I'm sure I'll reapportion those available funds to another hobby! -- Videodrome ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Videodrome's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11727 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36011 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
