    I’m really just starting to get into audio and that’s kind of by accident.

    I actually started fixing electronics, and then some good quality audio equipment came into my life. I didn’t know it was good, I thought my little piece of crap bose was awesome but holy moly no, in retrospect. Really all I wanted to do was to fix the obvious minor issues and sell it all. But I do test things meticulously before I sell them.

    My first experience was listening to Stevie Wonder As and initially running up to the speakers because I thought I was hearing noise or distortion or something. No, it just turned out there was detail in the music I literally had never heard.

    Well I moved that set down the line and sold it because another amazing Yamaha receiver and sub set came into my life, and then two weeks later I got some amazing studio monitor speakers for 10 bucks. Whoever priced them had no idea what they were. And they sound even more amazing in my little apartment than the other setup.

    So I guess what I’m telling you all is my weird audio journey that I didn’t mean to get into, and now I’ve become the thing I have always despised, an audiophile.

    So basically just drive a dump truck starting with around $180,000 up to my place and then I can get a clean chain of great audio gear, and the appropriate reference audio to play upon it.

    Also somebody to teach me what the hell I’m doing with audio stuff. But they can just scoop a few bricks of money off the pile from the dump truck.

      Congrats on falling down the audiophile rabbit hole. Shortly, you’ll be receiving your complimentary gold-plated interconnects and a lifetime subscription of A/B’ing different masters without actually listening to the full album 🙃
