Blew up the Krell S-300i

[frenchmon]

Frenchmon thanks for expressing how I am feeling. Music is also very important to me and for a few weeks I will not get to hear it at it's best. At least the best of the level of what I can afford. Living alone my dog is first followed by my Krell based stereo and third is my art collection.

I depend on music to keep me going. I recently had a client die and another is in the hospital with pneumonia. My late clients wife who I still provide care is very sick and most of my day was spent transporting her back and forth, cleaning her and the areas where she became ill. So music is what helps me relax and prepare for tomorrow.

I was able to buy the Krell due to an inheritance. Nice little windfall that allowed me to have some things that I could not justify at my income. Oh and my trip to Paris.

Well man, hang in there. Now some people may read this and think we are loosers....weird cats that's sobbing over a stereo...but for me out side of my family its my crutch. I can go down in the 2 channel room and sit and be moved inside my soul by sound. Some may call me a looser, weird, stupid....I don't care any more. I am what I am. But I do feel there should be boundaries....and whats dear to a person whether its his God, dog, car, family or whatever, should be off limits. I thought RGA being as knowledgeable as he is and a fellow brother in the hobby would understand that side of it. Art K is also a little down over at the Audiokarma forum as well because of his Rega Apollo-R player, so its wide spread with audiophiles.... Some things and thoughts and opinions are better off not said.
