How bout this one, after many years of searching I have found a rig (headphone) that gives me absolutely tremendous joy and I can't listen it because when I put my headphones on they begin to hurt my ear.

Was this in reference to my post?? If so; well I honestly don't know why such a wait. Paid for them in full  :duh: and was so excited, now 1.5 yrs later am quite bummed out about the whole deal.....

I have Accepted that I have a great sounding system in need of no further upgrades and Depressed that it all goes largely to waste.  Two beautiful piano black VMPS subwoofers whose main function are plant stands?  That ain't right.

Some of us, however, have transcended grief and arrived at happiness.  Not to be confused with Audio Nirvana.  I have achieved a level of contentment now that I have returned to the joys of vinyl.  Damn, but I didn't realize how much I missed it :scratch:

I run two tube based 2 channel systems, one in the Man Cave and one in the MBR, plus a HT in the great room.  Could some things be improved?  Of course.  But I have reached the point of diminishing returns and won't fork out the cash for a 3% to 5% improvement that it would take to get to Nirvana.

I would have to say I'm 1-4 with a little bit of 5 as well. :oops:

That's exactly where I'm at. Not with vinyl though. While I'm still trying different pieces it is just a habit now and has slowed down to an acceptable level. I do love what I'm hearing right now.

Oops, forgot about this post, sorry about that!  Anyway, I guess I and others could pursue it legally but am trying to be patient and wait it out. Was recently told it could only be a couple more months!! Man I sure hope so, this wait has put a serious hurt on my audio enjoyment.



What's their excuse John?

Oh boy. Well I've heard plenty and some sound legit. I just really hope he has a heart and gets this done as I can't afford to pay for another set of speakers...
