I'm getting close to my dream system, in that (apart from being curious about the AVI active speaker thingies) I seem to be spending more and more time listening to music rather than tweaking stuff or wanting to change things. I haven't replaced any cables for ages and it feels great!
Seriously though, the advent of Airfoil along with Spotify and iTunes has really been a game changer for me. This time of year when my conservatory (my normal listening room) is a tad chilly, I just set Airtunes to output to a different speaker - be it study, bedroom, lounge etc - and listen in there. Normally I would be listening to less music as it would be a hassle.
I can even set Airfoil to stream the input of my turntable if required...giving me warm (temperature not tone!) listening pleasure from the 100s of albums I only have access to on Vinyl.
Whilst my 2nd system doesn't have the detail of the main one, it is still eminently enjoyable, and more than makes up for the slight loss of detail by being in a warm and therefore accessible room. I'm probably listening to at least 3hrs a day on average now, much more on weekends.
Isn't that what HiFi is all about?
