Is it time to just quit?

Time to just quit?                      
Buying audio stuff?                             
Posting to an empty house?                          
My gut feeling is no one is posting in the regular 'free' threads. Maybe they all are paying to post? I could not know, since I am way too cheap to pay to just post 'exclusive'.  Being natural paranoid, I think everyone is posting over there, not here?                                       
Then I also just hit my limit on credit card Paypal. Now I have to become "verified' or no Paypal.    
This also happened at a fortuitous moment, when I was starting to overspend...             
So no buying OR selling here for me (unless I am willing to get the Paypal CC. Which I have to think about)So maybe the Universe is telling me "Time to quit".???  
Not quit listening to music, just NOT buying more stuff and NOT posting more gibberish.

Don't Worry. Be Happy.

That's really not bad advice. Elizabeth, I always enjoy your input here. It wouldn't be the same without you. Please stay active on the forum. If you take a break from buying stuff for a while, no problem. Just enjoy what you have. BTW, I'm sure your system sounds great.

There is quite a bit of activity here on some of the music specific posts. What's on your TT, What's in your CD player, What are you streaming? Those are three long standing, active threads that provide a lot on good music recommendations and good camaraderie. Join us on those threads and forget about the equipment for a while.

@stilljim - Hey Jim! How the heck are you? It's been years. Hope all is well. BTW, I still hang out occasionally with a few guys from the local Audiophile Group, but I don't really fit in either.

I'm having a beer and listening to The Alarm at the moment. Just wouldn't work with those audiophile guys......

@stilljim - Don't want to hijack Elizabeth's thread, so let's take it offline. We should get together for a listening session sometime. I've bought a few albums since we last met... ;~)

@geoffkait - Hey Geoff. I was looking on Amazon at the track list for the XLO Test CD. I don’t see any particular track called "speaker position". Which track do you use for setting speaker position? Also, are there instructions, regarding placement of speakers, in the liner notes for the CD? BTW here are the test tracks listings:

1. Technical Tracks: Channel Identification
2. Technical Tracks: Voice In-Phase
3. Technical Tracks: Voice Out-Of-Phase
4. Technical Tracks: Clap Track
5. Technical Tracks: 3 1 5 Hz Test Tone
6. Technical Tracks: ’Prof.’ Johnson Does Something Spatinal
7. Technical Tracks: Demagnetizing Sweep
8. Technical Tracks: Demagnetizing Fade
9. Technical Tracks: System Burn-In
10. Music Tracks: Mono, In-Phase
11. Music Tracks: Mono, Out-Of-Phase
12. Music Tracks: Stereo, Out Of Absolute Phase

Thanks.........

Hey @elizabeth - Here's an idea to maybe help with your enjoyment of listening to music, continue posting on A-goN and not spend money.

Join us on the music related threads here on AudiogoN. This is where all the cool kids hang out (we know you're a cool kid because we know what kind of car you drive ;~) ) and it doesn't cost a dime.

Check out these threads and consider participating. Would love to learn more about your music collection/selections:
