Since I do not have audiophile friends coming by to hear my system, it becomes a bit too conceptual as time goes by, all alone, gathering information, making choices, evaluating…
I’ve doubted my choices and questioned what I’m hearing, and said to myself with less than 100% conviction, ‘that sounds fantastic!’
So, indeed, as drbb said, “These kind of validations are what keeps you going.”
An acquaintance said to me, ’Now, every time I listen to music I wonder what it would sound like on your system.’
A friend said in an amazed tone of voice, ‘The first thing I notice is that it’s so clear, everything is so clear.’
