Backing out of audiophilism for now

Why are you stressed. If it is because of your system maybe it is because you are trying to please other people and their opinions instead of yourself. Remember as someone above said it is all about the music and your enjoyment and nothing else.

See you at the meetings. One day at a time my friend.

At the moment I am developing a turntable. It is getting to me. I want everything to be perfect but there is all kinds of snags. I am taking it to an expo and it must be ready in 3 days! Expo starts 15 September...

My EC pre-amp was hit by lightling and here in my comminity there is nobody that can fix it. The nearest supplier for the requiered transistors is somewhere in Italy... I think it is the power-regulators. There is a nasty 108Hz hum on the outputs.

My system-room is getting to small and it makes me clausterphobic.

I cannot listen to vinyl at the moment because the EC is broken... So no relaxing there either.

I cannot believe that I went from an almost hard-core audiophile to virtually nothing in a matter of a few days! It is super-frustrating.

The turntable project is a huge money-sucker thus I can't buy a new pre-amp.

C'est la vie! That is all that I can say.

Wait!! Look at Pillowfight's setup again. Simple and worth every penny!
Good luck.

It's not all about the music in this hobby. It's all about the music for music lovers. The vast, vast majority of music lovers are not audiophiles. It's about music and equipment or music and the sound of equipment, or just equipment. I can see how Dv could be stressed out. But good luck and Im sure you'll be welcomed back if and when that happens!
