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 short answer is yes. It’s very easy to get caught up in the pursuit of better gear. It’s one of the reasons that more and more online reviewers are literally telling people to find gear with sound that makes you happy. For me, it’s a warm yet detailed sound capable of exposing gobs of detail that makes me want to listen to music all day and night long and yet still manages to be able to make even the worst recordings still listenable. Whether it’s playing on my vintage Beogram 4002 or my Denafrips Hermes/Pontus II digital combo or the Technics SL-1200 Mk 7/Grado Sonata 3 combo that will be filling in for the Beogram 4002 while it gets a multi-year restoration that starts this winter once I recover from this Wednesday’s hand surgery.
