Come down from there Andre, things are never as bad as they seem!
I understand your frustration with hifi - you do have some pretty strong views and you know what you like, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just makes your 'journey' a bit tougher. I'm confident that with perseverance you'll get there in the end.
I can see your frustration in many of your posts, where your views can often seem challenging and contentious, but also can be amusing and (for a numpty like me) frequently informative. I for one would miss that, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Don't ever think that my replies to any of your posts are me 'having a dig', I take the mickey out of nearly everyone, especially myself.
In these trying times this forum can an important means of communication for all of us, and sometimes a way to let off steam. Please don't shut yourself off from this.
My suggestion: embrace the streaming for the time being, and continue to post, about music, films, TV, even tell us about your day And at some point your perfect TT will come along with a bit of luck. Then you can resume ruining your neighbours' lives with your Depeche Mode vinyl
I wish you well with whatever you choose to do.
