I finally came to the conclusion that my Stage 4 Pis dont lack anything but they are severely handicapped in my small room. Hopefully some day I can make more money and afford to rent/buy a larger house. Id love a room about 30 long x 20 wide and 15 high....I want a new room more than Ive ever wanted any other component. I guess since I have filtered thru so many components over the years I have finally come to the conclusion that hardware only goes so far. Middle range components in a good room sound a million times better than high end stuff in a crappy room. Ive heard this before , many , many times before but I did not truely believe it until now. I would go into denial and buy the gear anyways just because I could.
The good news is I can now stop spending money on components. In the last 10 years ive spent and lost a good 6-10K buying and selling stuff for a loss as well as lots of money in DIY supplies , drivers etc.
I guess though I had to go thru what I have gone thru to really appreciate where I stand in this audio hobby of mine. Its been fun but I believe this next 'phase' will be more fun.
