Thoriated_Tiger Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 You break all sorts of traffic laws so you can hear it sooner after work. Your friend with the glorified TV speakers is transfixed and left speechless by whats pouring out of your horns. Same friend is committing sacrilege by having thoughts of abandoning his glorified TV speakers in favor of glorified theater speakers. Same friend is left aghast by how clear crisp and liquid a non-set amp can be. You can't have the system play background music while reading anymore. It demands your attention, and is quite adamant about it. What's your criteria for "Was a good upgrade?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholtl Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 ...You go to friends' houses and the first thing you do is scope our what gear they're running. PS - the title should have been "You Know You're An Audiophile When..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoriated_Tiger Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Close, but not. The subject of the thread is upgrades which make you do strange things, or have strange things happen. Like spouses noticing a change, or cats lying in the sweetspot vs. running away in terror, etc. In my case, my system was just there, till I threw in the last upgrade -- that's when I found myself not being able to read with it playing, driving like a loon to get home sooner to hear it, etc. Going to a friend's house and scoping out their gear, yeah, that's indicative of audiophilla. But then, aren't we all allready afflicted to one dregree or another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
