Finally There...

I can totally understand the "addictive personality" bit mentioned.

With me its been everything at one time or another apart from gambling.

Beer, fags, sex, photography, judo (training 3 or 4 times a week at one stage), motorbikes (about 40), tuning cars, certain naughty substances in my formative years (seventies) and of course Hi-Fi still. I think the family like me having that obsession as it keeps me out of the way, costing me money though and I've got to thin down the collection.

I've sold nearly everything and bought a Denon DM-38DAB & Castle Richmond 3i

Not sure I would go quite that far James

Ha ha! - Me neither.

But yes, it's important to not get so obsessed with the next bit of kit that you lose sight of the music.

I thought I would have loads of spare cash after selling the gear but it turns out theres several hundered classical CD's I have to own... Oh well

You know as well as I do its not forever Just until I have learnt to control myself - The other alternative is to do what you did & buy the best damn speakers thus being so enthralled every time you listen you dont even think of changing them.

Nah, I'll live with the baby Denon for a bit & see how we get on (honeymoons not over yet)
