Yes , the problem is it now takes about two years to save up for them.

There are two types:
1) Looking for fixes to perceived problems. The fix often does not address the issue but provides a temporay distraction. This is malignant upgraditis.
2) Happy with the system but looking to push the envelope, so to speak as and when an affordable opportunity arises. It's (still) a free country but the resident pfm joy-sponges take issue with this. This is benign upgraditis.
Whatsnext can only think of one man when there are many. He might like to leave a chap alone. The passive-aggression continues...
There is also the third type of audiophile who think their system is perfect because either a guru, some arbitrary measurement or both tell them it is so.

Only with original Star Trek. I'm safe until Paramount releases them again in 4k, but I doubt that film from the 1960s can gi' me any morrrrre.
The hi-fi, however, is fine, so I'm in maintenance mode for kit. Just records and CDs as needed now.
Odd that it took breeeeeg woofers from 1958 to kill the bug.

Yep, for twenty years, but not bad enough to actually buy one.

Just to let those of you who don't know. Just like alcoholism you can never be cured. I was dry for 15 years before my relapse

Thirded.
The upside is house repairs and refurbishment, in my case, will provide me with a new room for my hi-fi. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be an improvement.

We were torn between selling up and moving somewhere smaller/easier to maintain, or staying here and doing the place up. The latter option won, so we've just started on what will probably be a year's worth of work, some DIY, some not. Had we moved somewhere smaller, I'd probably have lost the luxury of having two hifis to listen to!
