is it an upgrade or just fun?


i used to think that i upgraded for better sound but now im not so sure.

i was in the middle of upgrading my rig when i fell 32 feet from a roof at work & smashed my hip(you bet it hurt) & due to that i couldnt lift anything let alone move big ass amps in & out so my rig stayed the same for a few months,during that time i listened more than i ever had & realized that the rig was perfect & needed nothing.

well now that im up & around again & the the morphine's all gone i got the bug again,within the last week ive bought 3 new peices & i have my eye on a few more & i like it!

it seems that for me trying out new things is atleast half the fun so i ask is it REALLY an upgrade or just alot of fun trying out new things?

It's fun to try new stuff, for sure, but for myself I find it too nervewracking to change my main system frequently. My system has been stable for some time. I've heard better speakers, I know my cart could use a better arm, but even so I'm hesitating to change things. Right now I'm into acoustics, setup and room treatment. Maybe I'll get the bug later, but right now I'm happily occupied.
Kthomas and I share the same situation. My wife gives me a look every time a new piece of gear arrives. I try to get home before she does if delivery is expected.
After settling into my current system the purchases have slowed down considerably.
I don't know about you,but I sure wish I had a few of the pieces that I let go when I"upgraded" back
maybe morphine is the key to keeping us off the upgrade path...hahahaha...kidding
Geez Mike, hell of a fall. Was it one of the auto plants? I know you said you were on the roof of my old plant (Pontiac East, Truck&Bus) at one time.

I've found that I'm not only a music lover but just as much an audiophile...all audiophiles are tweakers in one form or another.

Upgrade/downgrade/sidegrade...it's in our blood brother!
