If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly upgrading your gear and spending several stacks of thousands of dollars…

But what if our picture of endgame doesn’t exist? In other words, we are chasing a certain quality that doesn’t exist?

    The “chase” you are referring to is a result of human nature. We always want what we don’t have and they say variety is the spice of life. You could be given your dream setup and after 6 months you would wanna try something new. To me there is no endgame … it’s all about enjoying the gear/sound you currently have, enjoying the music, and looking forward to new gear just for the enjoyment. It’s about the journey, the music, and the memories.

      Yeah I like this approach much more. It’s about discovering different flavors of sound. This idea of ultimate fidelity where everything is 100% transparent and nothing but the sound of the source is coming through is a logical goal to have but it’s not as realistic as people believe.
