Slowly Losing Interest In Hi-Fi

Digital has made everything sound the same.
Sterile  Shite , and all the same sterile shite.
The only true audio worth being interested in is analogue.
 Vibrations made by vibrations. 
Digital audio has no depth , no history, no character , no soul.
Record players are the only true audiophile tool.
That's the truth.
How long is a fucking computerised imitation of music going to enthrall anyone for ?
In my case ...less than a day.

If a I'm on holiday for more than a week the missus knows I'm going into withdrawal.

I lost interest in hifi at about the same age. I came back to it after about 8 years of not having a system at all. It might be something that comes back at some point. In my case, absence really did make the heart grow fonder.

Just toll with it Shane.
Just don’t sell your system off, as you will come back to wanting some good tunes.

This is a great post.

I was talking to Rob, who has been trialing new speakers recently. He concluded that the speakers he had enabled him to listen to everything and anything, whereas the speakers he was auditioning were dictating, as they only played certain types of music well.

My advice is you can do one of two things. Either advance your system to a point where every time you hear it, it's a joy or take a break for a while.

Don't sell your gear. You'll regret not having it if you want a listen at some point.

Recently, I've felt very similar emotions about my system, which is odd because it's the best it ever been, but I think that's the issue. There isn't an obvious upgrade I can do so that aspect of the hobby, which I think I enjoyed the most, is over.

Music wise, it's a different story. I'm downloading albums at an ungodly rate. 15 last night, LPs on the way and CDs in my ebay basket ready to be paid for.

I lost interest in Hifi when my son was first born because I had other interests and priorities, but I’ve never lost interest in music.

I think he's lost interest in this thread....

Not one reply from Shane. 

Losing interest in hifi may be an age related thing. After 30-40 years it is probably a case of seen it and done it all.  I had been thinking about improving my tt, but to be honest can't be arsed.

Also found this (but not this live version) Laurent Garnier - The Man With The Red Face ...

Q....what's best, an old favourite played through yer old Radio

Or

A facsimile played through an all singing all dancing DAC.

I lost interest a while back as I was more into restoring my 1957 Ford Pop, three years on I'm getting close to finishing it although old cars are never done. I have been driving it in between jobs so had some good times with it. 
On the hifi front I have made some changes in that time but none as significant as lately, one big change was selling my PX25 monoblocks and being happy with a Sony receiver that cost me £69. Maybe because my interest was less. Then I found Lii audio speaker drivers and my interest picked up. So now have crystal 10 in tqwt and thought how wonderful they sound. But little did I know how much better they would sound with my latest purchase. I had the urge for another valve amp that turned into a search for a first watt SIT, decided against valves again, that search was fruitless and I came across Bakoon amps and bingo, the crystal 10 are now way beyond anything I've heard ever. The only thing limiting my listening is my room is down the garden and some days the weather has been too bad to bother.
Anyone losing interest should take a break and most likely it will sound great again at some point. 

I lost interest in my hifi when I had my previous speakers because I found myself not enjoying the system as much. Since getting my new speakers I am listening to it at ever opportunity.
