I did this hobby for about 15yrs w/lingering frustration. I think not
having the $$$ to always make a system "all at once" led to piece-meal
soulutions. Taking guitar classes at the old towne shcool in chicago
started me hearing my system in a new way as a musician instead of an
audiophile. (musicians are notorious for their averge systems-though
not always!) After about 3-4 yrs of struggling w/the guitar and also
then voice lessons, I finally got back to audio. I had purchased several diy kits, a se tube amp, a battery pwrd preamp, a passive preamp, and a tube phono stage. I've built the 1st two & got new speakers to match the amps from audiogon. You dont have to become a
great musician just have fun and believe that no matter how difficult
you will improve and remember you're in it as therapy for "audio-nervosa". I still want good sound but I think I'm looking to hear the
way the musicians are working to make the music instead of just going
after some unending hifi goal. This of course still demands attention
to what's possible. There's a lot of different trends in the market
place for example you have sacd's, upsampled cds as a way of bringing
cds up to close to sacd sound, and at the same time some asian and
for example audio research sticking with red book playback but still
higher engineering going into the design. (see their website on comments regarding development of the cd3) which I haven't heard.
