    With the exception of the addition of the DSW 400 sub this year, my system has been stable since Oct 2007 when I got my Sunfire prepro.

    Now unless something dies or I come into a boatload of money for some Dynaudio 220s I'm all set.

    I curse this place every time I log in... and was just fine with monitor 50's as mains. I have spent 5k in upgrades since I joined. Now I have 1.2TL's, LSi-15's for surrounds, a Yamaha Px-3 turntable and a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature. Not to mention the home built SDA center.... I think the only piece of my rig that has not changed is my Yamaha RX-v861, and as soon as I can get a pre that has HDMI 1.3, that will be gone too.
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    I have no idea what you guys are talking about. You have no idea how many PM's I get each month asking about my setup. I assume no responsibility for one's "upgradtitus". :D In all honestly, it flatters me every time I get a PM asking about my setup, makes me feel like I did something right in my choices. As far as gear purchases go, I'm done for a while, BUT, I am planning on doing some work to my HT room.

    yeah Rob, keep showin' that jvc in your showcase...you dogg. Rob the dogg.:mad:

    ...but then you're just passing on the cycle as i know you keep a lookout on Sherard's gear. that sounded dirty!:eek::p

    What really hurt is when I scored a Pioneer SA-9800 on e-bay for $185 bucks (The ebay stars do not come into alignment that often) and it got damaged in shipping...while waiting on it I found a pair of Rt800i's.I guess I should be glad something put the stops to my mania - I live in a studio apartment for cryin out loud! I've hardly got room for the SDA's - and what the hell am I doing with FOUR turntables?!

    If I could stop buying new projector's, I'd be ok. Geesh. Actually allot of my gear purchases were because of Rob. To name a few, second SVS sub, the Velodyne SMS-1, the Oppo and some others. It's kinda like we IM back and forth and decide on what we're buying. Then someone drops the coin and the next follows. Funny though.:D

    Okay, I'll be the first. "Hi, my name is Rob and I have upgradetitus".:D Yes, Sherard and I are close brothers from another mother:D, we keep in close contact with one another as we speak everyday, neither one of us make a purchase decision usually without consulting the other. Just love how a brothers quick to point fingers at me though, if I remember correctly, "Hey Rob, I'm gonna send you my old HD1 so you can compair it to your Epson, after your done, if you like it we'll work out a fair price". Best purchase I've made for my H/T to date, Thanks brother!
