Years ago when we ditched our lumpy diskmans for 64mb mp3 players I had the quest to compress my music to the smallest file size possible, only listening to music with sketchy earphones I bought from a store that would go bankrupt a week after. The result of these bad earphones continued to be that they would break every week, sometimes a month if I got lucky. Otherwise they would tangle my feet in my chain riding my bicycle to school breaking both knees, my bike and worst of all, my earphones. At that point I decided to buy some better quality ones so I wouldn't go and have to replace them all the time and in the long therm throwing away lot's of hard earned money (yes I was still a kid, and wages for kids are just enough to buy yourself a cheap knock-off version of something cool rich parents gave to your snarky spoiled classmate). Blown away by how good my music could also sound I quickly progressed in the quality of equipment I possessed. Later switching from noisy low-res compressed mp3 formats to flac. Every time I bought something better there was no way back, when you're used to something good, you don't want to switch back to music that sounds like it's recorded a phone in the far end of a pop festival submerged in a pint of beer. I bought a crappy car so I could buy a decent headphone (at that time that was the hifiman HE-400), I refrained from buying a guitar I still really want, to buy a schiit amplifier. And the wavering considerations didn't end there. But I reached my peak for now, it's time to focus on more important stuff as rent and taxes and paying for the physiotherapist, but I still can't resist the urge to strive for something bigger, something better and something that will bring the detail and depth of my music to a whole new dimension. This seems like the perfect opportunity!
