    Yep. The sickness of being an audiophile is chasing that last 1%, which is really crazy if you remove yourself from the equation. I finally got to where I wanted to be, and I'm happy to report I have not bought any audio equipment in over 5 years :)

    My Art Audio Jota amps costs more than my 176 gallon tank :eek: I am not a big cable believer, but some people have cables worth more than my car.

    notice I edited my post and called it "audiophool" haha... when folks start buying crystal rocks to place on their amplifier for better sound quality, well, they've gone too far! :eek: lol.

    I've listened to some of the best systems in the world, and it's pretty crazy the stuff I've heard on good quality vinyl.... but when I got into making records instead of listening to them, it became a whole other ball of wax for me....

    Technically speaking cables matter to a point, but there is really no justification to go beyond a heavy gauge oxygen free copper for speaker wire. It's when folks are spending hundreds if not thousands on a power cable that I begin to question their sanity.

    Ditto- it's like Everest- once there you can see everything but hear nothing like you once did.

    I have over 60k in home audio gear- that I listen to maybe once a week now.

    I am soon down sizing, going tube only and keeping my JBL L-7's, and my M&K subs- the rest goes.

    But my brother collects gutairs- his latest was a PRS @ 6K- very nice, but I will stick with my 59' Melody Maker- old but true.
