Is it time to just quit?
I've never responded to any kind of post on audiogon. Your's is the first. Why not take some time building your music collection and exploring new music... FOR FREE. I live on pittsburgh and I decided awhile back to go through all the cd stacks in all the major libraries of pittsburgh. It took a couple years but I can tell you what I did and how. It revolutionized my music collection and my experience of music as much, if not more, than spending thousands of dollars. I can compare because I did both, the library thing AND the spending thousands of dollars thing. If you're interested in my tips pm me. . |
I want to reiterate, I have no plan, idea, notion nor interest in NOT listening to music. Somehow the original message was perhaps misleading. The only thing I would maybe thinking of. possibly was stop posting here, and then whining about Paypal hitting me with the 'VERIFIED' thing. So no more buying used stuff,via CC. I know folks tend to gloss over what they read, and interpret into the written message things that are not actually there. So no worry, I am just fine about my stereo and listening to music. 100%. I actually feel confused why folks think that, though re-reading my original post I can see the not clear way I wrote about it. And really, as far as Paypal snafu, I should stop, and just listen to what I have.. (which I am and will be doing) ((Though naturally I have long and EXPENSIVE list of stuff I still want to add to my stereo)) And the nice comments from well wishers makes me feel good and thank you again. |
Why not sit down in your listening chair ( couch) and stop to think a bit. Why am I involved in this hobby? To gather the most expensive and arguably, better or best new equipment or model that has been just released? Or— because I love good music and it is always swirling around in my mind. If you feel ‘depressed ‘ cause you’re spending to much and possibly, need to HAVE the latest update or ( lol) buy a new amplifier for $18,000....- after you sell your 3rd , 6 month old Preamp for $7,000 —— you’re in this hobby for the wrong reasons! Or better yet, enjoy and read about equipment; and how damn silly MOST AUDIOPHILES ARE: which could include me..? I dare not say!! But I’m having a few exciting new pieces of gear coming up for “ true critical evaluation” quite soon! Come on by!! https://www.thesoundadvocate.com |
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.
