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?

At some point, I decided I wasn’t going to worry so much about audiophile stuff and just enjoy the music.
Some of the most moving experiences listing to recorded music was in the car playing something over Spotify. Try to imagine a worse acoustic environment.
I’m reminded of a post in a Facebook audiophile group. Someone was asking for Grateful Dead concert recommendations, knowing that frequently concert recordings are less than pristine, and kept asking “are the sonics good?” and “is it an audiophile recording?” I’m like, fuck, man, it’s the Grateful Dead, do you even have a soul or are you some fucking robot? Would you decline the almost religious experience of listing to a Dead concert because there is some background noise or distortion? Get a fucking grip.
