Hear a good orchestra music on good gear, I want to stand up and conduct. Can live with med-hi but will not be so excited. Music love is a must, and a good gear a plus. But some guy never attend great live music or never hear good gear will miss a lot of good music. And that is a waste bcz we do have to admit that some of great music is bcz it matched hi and low perfectly. Try any classical orchestra. If you only hear a bad system and claim it is very good? I doubt it. Don't tell me Bach' organ is good if your speaker has no bass.
2 Questions on General Music Preferences
Which would you prefer:
1) Substandard artistic content music that is masterfully recorded and playing on a state of the art system or incredibly wonderful music played on a Walkman in a bathroom?
And a more interesting one...
2) If your only choice for a long period (say, in the car with your significant other) is 5 hours of truly awful music or NO music, which would you prefer?
To start it off properly, I'll answer. First, if there were no high falutin' audio and all recordings sounded like the worst condition 78 rpm record ever heard, I'd still be a music lover. Second, life is too short to listen to Ricky Martin, Britney Spears or Shaun Cassidy. Five hours of that and I'd be ready for the nuthouse! Quite frankly, if the music is bad, I'd rather have silence for 5 hours than to listen to it for 5 minutes. So the real question from the above is... am I REALLY a music lover????
