Over the last 3 years after being out of the HiFi loop for over 20. I have now put together my pinnacle system within my reach (Maybe overextending myself a little) after buying and selling and loosing and making money, after spending bonuses and tax refunds I now have about 25k+ invested in my system. I love it, it reproduces music the way I hear it in my head. But being a single Dad and living paycheck to paycheck, I'm thinking, maybe its time to get back to reality and listening to music for the sake of enjoying the music.
I feel after all my experience I can live with a good integrated amp, my Thorens 160 TT and a pr of Vandersteen 2ce or Spendor SP1/2's
I might miss the prestige of top class equipment (at least in my opinion) and some of the qualities of that equipment, but it might just be time to let it go.
