Hi Ed sawer, I do not smoke pot or drink anymore. It got the best of me. But I believe you are right. I would smoke pot before doing any evaluating of equipment. I seemed to focus better. Who knows, maybe I was fooling myself. I do believe I was able to concentrate better when stoned. Now I let the music stone me.
Do you drink when you listen?
I love to have a drink when I listen to the music. It helps me to concentrate well. I love Black Label Whiskey or Courvosier. A good import beer preferably belgium will also do.
