I have been chasing my tail since 1988. In this time I have had better systems evolve out of my neurosis.
But, it is what you say, up to the individual perseption of what you think you hear, self satisfaction. When I was in my teens, I enjoyed a cheap console stereo without any question of sound quality. Unless you take in the fact that it had to play loud and have plenty of bass frequencies.
In the past 8 years or so. I have considered this more of a hobby and have persued the DIY route. During this time, I have had more fun, and met more interesting people who make this hobby more enjoyable.
To me, this hobby is as much about fellowship, sharing and learning. Than it is an obsession for the cleanest and most spirtual out of body aural experience via my stereo's ability to reproduce the perfect sounds. Nothing is perfect, especially the recordings.
My father use to ask me what my obsession was about with the desire to hear every mouse fart on a recording?????
Have fun!
Norris
