Hello everyone....

I'm John and I am an Audioholic...

I have been an Audioholic since I was 17.... I am now 60. I cannot seem to get away from it. It rules my life, my job and even caused a split with my first girlfriend.

I am always box swopping in search of The Audio Grail. I have spent 10's of thousands on this addiction over the years.

I am looking for another house and have had to reject 6 so far because the lounge is not the right shape/size/etc for my hifi.

Looks like I will have to stay in my current place as it suits my system well....:)

Current system.
Vortexbox Lux, Vertex AQ Aletheia dac, Vertex AQ PSU2, CJ PV14ls2 pre, First Watt F4 amp, Ref 3a Episode spkrs. All connected with Vertex AQ cables....

Welcome to AOS, John.

When house buying, a suitable 'music room' is one of my must-haves as well. The wife's used to it now. :)

-- I get the impression that you like the Vertex kit. ;)

Hi John, welcome to AOS.

Audioholism is an incurable condition. I'm afraid you're just going to have to live with, as do the others in your situation on the forum. Me included. :)

Tell us something about your music preferences.


Geoff.

Ha Ha, very similar to my choices. I was playing 'A Flock of Bleeps' by Younger Brother and 'Are You Shpongled' the other day. A bit of Eat Static goes down well too. This type of music just sounds stunning on a good system.

I also like some of the stuff you've excluded though.
