I also listen every day, most of the day. It is my retirement hobby. I just love listening to music. It is my high. My joy.
This year i got back into 'upgrading' in a big way. After almost eight years of doing nothing to the equipment. (the only thing I upgraded during those years was the IC.). So for me, of late a lot of fooling around. The best thing about the upgrading is getting me better clarity. I crave the clarity, and now it is really here. One odd thing I like about my current setup is the LACK of strong bass. I just cannot have it in the system at all. Living in 'over 55' apartment building, bass that would go through the walls is a eviction notice. I was worried about upgrading from 3.6 to 20.7 Magnepan, but it seems OK. My thing is the treble.. It has to be really great.
