    Hobbyist Vs someone who owns a decent stereo?

    If memory serves me well :cool: .. Back in the day .. late 70's for me .. don't remember folks thinking of their stereo system as a hobby. At some point .. that all changed IMHO. By the time I got back into Vinyl after a long hiatus (2000) .. I know I started to think of my stereo rig as a hobby.

    Name a movie that affected you deeply

    Movies usually run about 90 - 120 minutes ... which is usually not enough time to have "long term" affect on me. TV series or mini-series in another story. They run long enough (time & content wise) to have a lasting affect on me. Kung Fu TV series (1972-1975) had a long term affect on me ...

    Component with the Biggest Impact on the Sound

    IME & IMHO .. it's all about the system. Nothing is more important than anything else .. the biggest impact on sound can be found in the weakest link in the chain .. "at the time" .. usually discovered in hind-site.

    Discovering Steve Miller

    "Fly Like an Eagle" 1976 and "Book of Dreams" 1977 is what I remember from my High School days. What amazed me some years latter was discovering that Steve Miller had released 7 albums prior to "The Joker" 1973 which was thought of as an "oldie but goodie" album at the time .. back in 1977.

    What does your gear say about your personality?

    I'm pragmatic and follow my own path. I've never followed the consensus approach personally in life and my audio system reflects that.

    Disappointed with Geshelli J2 4499EX

    Geshelli has bare boned versions as well .. Wood case, Sparkos OP Amps, Amanero USB are just "options". For example one can order a JNOG2 (J2) .. no USB .. AK4493 DAC Chip .. Aluminum case .. for $249. This would give you 2 toslink and 2 coax ports front and rear. Amanero USB is + $50 option for...
