Is it time to just quit?

@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... ;~)

@reubent  - Yes, you are right. Elizabeth my apologies. I wasn't thinking.

No problem. Two guys reconnecting. good things.. All OK by me.

Hey Elizabeth. Ive been in a similar situation before. When I was low on funds I would reposition my speakers or change the acoustics of the room or move my listening chair closer or farther. Or try cheap tweaks. When I get in a funk I realize I'm critiquing my stereo and trying to be a perfectionist and not listening to the music. When I was 10 I remember the joy music gave me on my first stereo. A $5 AM transistor radio. Now I have built a stereo over the last 46 years that's 10,000 times the cost. Since being out of work from surgery for 5 months I listened to tons of music. So much that I'm a little tired. I just started back to work this week. Maybe its a time to unplug from all music for a week from any sources and start a little fresh with music you haven't heard in a while. I'm also well aware of my moods and when I lose interest in music thats the first sign I'm depressed. For me with the stress of the holidays and with the possibility of SAD it can be a downer. However I always feel great each autumn for about a month and music is beautiful!! Not trying to be nosy in your personal affairs. Your love of music will come back
