Congrats. Unfortunately (or fortunately), your journey may have just begun. I too ran through several amps and preamps and digital combos as I got back into audio - even with research, it’s difficult to tell how these things sit with you over time. I’ve somewhat stabilized, but am now focused on the room (likely going to build a dedicated room), power, foundation, etc.
That said, I enjoy it every night when I sit down for an hour or two and miss it when I don’t. It is (only barely) cheaper than a shrink or too much booze, gambling or other vices. Now, it’s summer, when my focus moves to tarpon on the fly, which is just like cocaine, except more addictive and more expensive.
Enjoy the ride!
