(...) The idea of being stuck in some endless rabbit hole is pure torment (...)

IMHO ignorance, lack of love for music or a depressive mind can turn this hobby in an endless rabbit hole. It is essentially an extremely rewarding, but also challenging hobby.

You’re not trying hard enough ArcHiPo :)
Actually I misquoted her. She says ”it’s better than a blonde”. Guess the “cheaper” was my Freudian slip!:rolleyes:

Here you go again Mike? You’ve dropped the hint, now spill the beans… what is this ”major change is imminent?” (Forgive me if you’ve already done so in another thread.) Will this pending (possible) change spark another dedicated thread? ;)

is there a contented audiophile? I didn’t know that.
as far as I know there are only discontented audiophiles (including myself) but none of them admits and says he is very happy with the sound. after a short while itching wins and all audiophiles change some gear, cable or tweak. otherwise they wouldn’t be called audiophiles

Nothing like a financially demanding property restoration to make one happy with one's audio lot.
