    You forgot to mention the immense mountain of hi-fi magazines dating back to the 1970's

Makes me laugh when people say they are selling their cds to 'free up some space'. Yay! An extra cubic foot of room! Wouldn't even scratch the surface here.
    I don’t know what stage I would be. I’ve just some new speakers, but they were not a lot of money and I had been searching for a pair for a long time. Usually when I get the urge to buy something I have a splurge on music instead.

    No only the 1980s. It is still a mountain though. Or would be if I were to make them into one. A bit like that bloke in 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' does with his mashed potatoes.

    Actually it's dead easy to cure this particular addiction; just stop reading hifi mags/visiting forums/walking past hifi shops. Or lose all your money on the horses.

    Of course, similar will happen with Audio Al. (where is he lately?)
    Yea, he died happy and with a big grin on his face

    I guess I've done quite a bit of box swapping over time but I did use the AN Oto for about 8 years along with the AN Dac and either Heresy, Rega RS3's or LV's so I guess that's not too bad

    My latest is a Naim setup used with either LV's or the Maggies and I'm just as happy with the sound as I was with the AN, it's just different
