Why.. ? because I actually think going to a shop and playing about with different HiFi gear is *fun*. Like all new gadgets. That is what I was getting at. You've been there done that got the t shirt and decided you can't be bothered with it any more. Fine, so let others make their own minds up! I do also enjoy those days when I just sit and listen to music, and sometimes having new gear is a good excuse to listen to old favourites again. This is all part of the fun! Back to my other question. Should we strive towards a single choice of sound system or is there room for variance? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105572 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
