Concentration


I believe to get the best experience with your stereo you have to give your full attention to the music (not the sound.)  Reading, doing chores, or writing something (like I’m doing right now) really lessens your enjoyment and can potentially cause you to doubt the quality of your system.  
What do you think?

@unclewilbur very recently I stated in a Thread " and have developed a amusing to myself way of writing whilst being participant. "

That is not to change, being forum active for myself, should have a little " joie de vivre "

Now You Know the Pindac Fundamental is to be informative with a light heart you are welcome to not stop, but scroll past my Post if encountered yes 

@sns stated " Tonight was my first listening session with newly purchased Audio Note Quest 300B monoblocks, I was most certainly listening to the sound and I had a most enjoyable listening session. "

I very recently introduced SET 300b Power Amplification into my own system, due to the 5W Per Channel Output, they have been used with a New to thee System Speakers and as a design quite new to me, being Transmission Line Dual Concentric with a 96dB and 106dB from the Two Drivers.

A Delay was incurred to use 300b's as the Amp was using Takatsuki, which I declined to purchase. I was to source different Output Valves.

The Speakers were used with the Resident PP 845 Monoblocks, and within a few moments the End Sound formed from these Speakers was compelling, a few additional sessions with my Wife present , led to us both agreeing the Speakers were something quite special in the way the End Sound was formed in the listening Space. The Speakers are agreed between ourselves to become my Wife's speakers on her yet to be put in place SS System, which will be with an Analogue Source / Streaming System > Neurochrome Power Amp.

The 300b, was eventually adorned with very high quality Input Valves and not so high quality output Valves being Billington Gold 300b's of a 90's Vintage, with a measured reading showing a loss of optimised had occurred. These were bought for silly money as an infill until better Valves were purchased which are JJ 300b's and now in my possession.

The Amp' with Billington's in use has been a extremely good experience in conjunction with the New TLDC Speakers, both myself and Wife were Jaw on the Floor, which was not expected, the End Sound being formed in the listening space was mesmerising.

The couple of Visitors now having heard the 300b as a set up above are seriously impressed, their brought along 'trip a system up tracks',  were not tripping up this set up. The Visitors comments made about the attractiveness of the End Sound Produced are no different to my own and Wife's description of the impression that has been made.

When it comes to investing substantial sums (relating to my budget) over a long period of time in Audio Equipment. For myself, which has been a lengthy period of time as a learning curve, to get to where my thoughts on being participant are now.

Leaves me with the notion a large part of my drive is for experiencing the Shaping and Structures of Vocals and Instrumentation created in the End Sound being produced. It is these experiences encountered that is the compelling force that makes me return and return. Where being investigative, extending on experiences had and furthering learning are of equal interest, as this exposes an individual to other End Sounds that are able to be produced, of which a proportion are must haves, even if not one produced in the owned system, being in a position to revisit and have a extension of an experience is a thing to be Grateful for.       

My Experiencing an Audio System being used and the forming of Vocal and Instrumental Sound from the recording, which is what I refer to as the End Sound.

Is always the most enjoyable when I am experiencing the systems End Sound in the same way I would expect to be hearing Vocal and Instrumental Sound being created at a Live Event, which is to be in the Company of others and it is a Part of a Social get together.

My interest in recorded music is an extension of my interest in Live Music. It is my interest in Live Music that set me on the path to express an interest in recorded music and audio systems.

I rarely listen to the dedicated audio system alone, and when done it is more typically in the Months with Longer Nights. This is usually a listening activity to assess an audio device for how it has a synergy within the Audio System. My Spouse is quite content to be with me for a proportion of these periods, the Valves do add a few degrees to the Ambient, so are quite homely in that respect.

New Albums Purchased are usually debuted with my Spouse if she expresses an interest, or when guests are at my home or I am a guest at another's home.
