Just the musings of an audiophile

I have been listening to music on my system today because I am sick with nothing else to do. I am 54yrs old. when I started acquiring my first stereo equipment over 35yrs ago I was convinced that being an audiophile was a curse. It isn't something you pursue, like being a doctor or carpenter. It seems like you either have it or you don't, from birth. Now I am sounding like a gay person, which I am not. Back to the point, It was a curse because I bought the best I could afford many years ago, but was never satisfied, I could always pick the system apart and complain about this or that. I really never enjoyed listening to the systems because of the flaws, but I love music! I could have a system that was 99.99% of the time 100% perfect, but to me it was junk. Now I am lucky enough to have a system that, to me is 100% of the time 100% perfect. I didn't think it was possible, but it is. Some of my equipment is Krell, I had to send the pre-amp back to the factory 4 times over a 2 year period before they finally discovered the factory flaw and fixed it. No longer is, being an audiophile, a curse. it is a blessing. A very expensive blessing!
