Thinking lately

mantis

Whats up people....

I was thinking about this the past few months with all the new stuff that came out. Blue Ray, HD DVD, 1080p, plasma prices falling , Ipod everything, etc etc etc. I have been hit with the upgrade bug but started thinking about all this madness.

What about the journey towards audio perfection??? Is there such a thing?? I'm very happy with my current system but I always here something that I dig and then think about upgrading, sideways grading or whatever..

So when is enough enough??

When you direct your money towards a different hobby.

When you run out of money and have to sell the dog to support your habit you know enough is enough.

When it's not fun.

When your common sense kicks in & you actually hear what you just wrote above.

"I'm very happy with my current system."

Try networking audio setups to see what really works for you. Are you 2 ch or are you HT or gaming. Test what works for you. Be aware of the size of the rooms so you have a better idea of how it will be for you. Networking audio makes for good friends.

Since I got my SVS sub and those RTi800's from Justin, this is actually the first time I've ever been very happy with my HT setup. It's nice to just kick back and enjoy watching movies without thinking about upgrading this or that during the movie.

You know I had to laugh at this one.

Just how many rooms have you been aware of now Dan?

if you're happy, but still have an itch to progress, then just try adding vs. ever replacing.

When I find myself upgrading just for the sake of boredom, I stop and think about what I'm doing. I've caught myself a number of times lately looking at equipment I don't need. I've been very satisfied with my system, but sometimes boredom kicks in, and I want to try something different.

It beats chasing my tail because I'm not satisfied with something; but it's largely unnecessary. I think with the amount of money I'm willing to spend on various pieces (generally $1000 per piece) I feel my best option now would be speakers in the $5k and under zone---no more. Since speakers generally make the most noticable difference, and given the "mid-level" of my other equipment, I should be able to find whatever I need in the $5k range.

I usually stop when I can't afford to pay for my schooling anymore. And crack, that comes first.......is it cold in here?


On a serious note though, with the lack of a real job I can usually only make once purchase a year with a few hundred bucks. *waiting for next years tax returns for a sub...*

Audio perfection is cyclical, kinda like life. You can get where you want to be, then change naturally occurs and the cycle starts all over again.
