jd,

Excellent post - full of home truths (for me, at least).

I've often promised myself that I will not think about hardware, go on forums or go anywhere near eBay for x period of time. Why do I find this so hard to do? Well, one reason is that I'm just not totally happy with the sound of my music. I think this is a genuine reason. But, I also know that I'll never be totally happy with the sound, and hence my own obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

In an way, I envy those who outsource building a music system to the 'experts'. The resulting system may sound terrible (as I discovered at the Munich High End show), but I bet the owners are 'happy' with their sparkling hardware going 'wham boom bam' louder than anyone elses.

Mani.
