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.

To stop posting here or anywhere else may be a good idea. Talking to us boys is like talking to the wall and these deceptively wonderful words of interest and support signify nothing.
You got arrangements to make to get to Milan on time. And time is running out. Give La Scala a chance to share the experience. Shopping for evening gown would be more appropriate than for this audiophile junk. Hear the real music.

Mapman,
I agree with you. Syntax’s analogy may indeed apply to his experiences. I’ve experienced wonderful music listening sessions with digital and analogue sources. I certainly don't  get the impression Elizabeth is experiencing "ice cube showers" with her Marantz DAC.

I can verify that the SA-10 that me and Elizabeth have and others is very very good. #%€$ good. With playing a great digital mastered CD it  will reveal the limitations of my TT. Sibilence, surface noise, mistracking. Its seductive and makes me lazy to get up and spin a record, I don't always run the cardas clean sweep record. (It does make a difference in that I have been doing it consistently as of late). I don't think its much of the SA-10s fault if some CDs come out as a 🦃. You can dress up a turkey but it will still be a turkey. If I'm experiencing ice showers its because the water is hard. Back to the records. Some or most have that warm analog glow kinda like how tubes introduce distortion that is ear friendly. I live happily with both.

What an enjoyable discussion. 

The entire universe is on a sine wave. Audiophilia included. “Go with the flow”. Presumably there’s a larger intelligence in the background holding the baton. They say it’s trying to help. 

And one great but seldom mentioned benefit of these forums:  funny posts. To all the witty audiophiles:  keep working!
