Pure Corn Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 G-ear A-cquisition S-yndrome: "An obsessive-compulsive disorder in which the afflicted buys audio equipment in a quest for sonic nirvana." Sells all home theater gear. Buys Cornwalls, buys Cornwall IIs, sells Cornwalls. Buys a Dared VP-16, sounds nice; asks, "I wonder what these tubes would sound like?" Buys tubes and tubes and tubes. The Jolida 1301A might be perfect, buys. Auditions; not! Wow, a Bryston B60 at a good deal! Upon first listen, asks, "did I ever hear THAT before?" Sells Bryston B60, buys Bryston B60; justifies, "I need to hear the SST ouput devices in a B60." What's this, an SLI-30 at a great deal? Buys. Wow, the VP-16 was not so good after all. Sells tubes and tubes and tubes. Buys tubes and tubes and tubes. "Gee, the Svetlana EL-34s sound nice." Reads a review on the Adcom GFP-750, buys GFP-750. Buys Bryston 3B-ST. Buys balanced interconnects; justifies "can't really tell how good it is without balanced cables." Auditions; "now, that's really a "black" silence." Oooh, Monarchy SE-100 Delux, Class "A" Solid State, "that sounds perfect"; buys. Auditions; that is good, but begins feels out of touch with something (reality?). IS THERE A PILL TO CURE MY AILMENT? Now, needs a DAC, DIP, er, what else starts with "D"? Oh, yeah, DIGITAL power amp? ARGH!

Frzninvt Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yours is a mild case, chew a couple of Tums. Mine has been going on now for about 5 years, constant transition. I think I have the FARTS syndrome as outlined above. If I were to itemize all the changes in the past 5 years it would take forever to type up, I probably don't even remember some of the stuff that I have bought and sold. I have actually finally reached the point were I am happy with everything - almost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
