    Yeah, a certain guy on this forum who's name rhymes with the word "Drey" stated privately that he was done.

    A friend of ours and I gave him much grief and he stated that...."no, I mean I am done, DONE!"

    LOL

    I haven't heard the latest rendition of his rig yet but I have to laugh when someone says that in this hobby.

    I agree, yes. In Egypt, they call that De Nile.

    I'm done with my rig for a stint. Not to say I'm done.....it's just on hold while I concentrate on the new room. That's definitely the one thing that's holding me back right now.

    I think as long as it is a hobby you can never technically be done

    Dude, you didn't understand that? I understood that perfectly. Well except the Led Zeppelin part. And what brand are the 100w speakers by the way? Kraco?
    Gustard X26 Pro DAC
    Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
    B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    The takeaway for me was that McIntosh gear makes your music sound like band practice. That's good information.

    I think there should be a “say no the audio gear purchases anonymous” club somewhere!!

    And make it National!
