How much do you value your HIFI?

[Sovereign]

About six months ago or so I went down the DIY route, tinkering with my speakers and making a stunning DIY DAC, I have loved the process and there is massive satisfaction in the constant improvement of sound as you tinker away. However I have come across a few problems which are beyond my limited knowledge and I have had to send various bits to helpful people to fix, and as a result I have been without my hifi for about a month.

Work is ferociously busy which keeps me distracted in the evenings. The wife seems more happy as I spend more time with her, but at the end of the day I am really looking forward to getting my hifi back together and relaxing in front of good music and an excellent sounding system. I am an extremely busy person and my life is not all about my system but I guess it plays an important role in my life and something I am really passionate about. I find it hard to listen to music outside of my system as it always sounds thin and lifeless. Maybe we are all spoiled, I'm not sure but I do know I'm very much looking forward to getting my hifi back!!!

All spoiled?..........maybe, I think educated in the appreciation of your music sounding good (or insert your own word to match your systems performance).

I personally feel sorry for people who don't realise it's not that difficult to achieve good sound, if only they looked beyond all the latest 'gadgets'.

Enjoy your system when you get it back James

Not sure how I'd cope

That is way too long for me.
Just as well I have loads of spare kit to sub in when anything is being fixed

Mine plays music

I wouldn't cope without it................

I love my Hi-Fi. I have it sounding just the way I want, so not much changes in the system. I've heard systems costing hundreds of thousands of pounds, but to me mine sounds stunning.

I must be doing it wrong then!

My system is so important to me; it is in use for several hours a day when I am at home.

I simply couldn't bare to be without it, so I too, have a large amount of spare equipment to call upon if anything needs to be repaired.

my stereo has always been among the three items first installed after a house move. the other two being the bed and a table
