music formats of all kinds, but no hardware. there is a lot of talk about gear and upgrading/tweaks and what not, especially in the audio enthusiast/audiophile community, so i thought it appropriate to ask this question.
me personally, i am becoming committed to more of a "get as much as you can [music]" approach to the issue. my current setup is rather modest, but sounds good enough based on what i can afford right now. i'm thinking that when i'm older (just a college kid
) and have a "real" job that pulls down more than $8/hour, once i get a really good speaker setup i'm just going to leave it at that, and spend all my money that might've gone to gear, on music. to me, this entire hobby is about the enjoyment had by/through music, and i don't see how you can get more enjoyment out of having a very good setup while having little (comparatively) to listen to, as compared to had you spent the majority of your budget on music in the first place. a great deal of music simply won't sound amazing anyway, so the fact that you didn't wring every drop of detail out of your system doesn't seem to mean all that much in light of having 2x or 3x as much to listen to. my thoughts, anyway.
