When "I'm there," that's when I'm happy. That sense was achieved by listening to some astounding Lamm ML-2.2 SET monos; it was pure magic. Of course I can't afford that, but I can collect enough change between the sofa cushions to buy say a pair of Lamm ML-1.1 monos. If I can just get say within 85% or 90% of the ML-2.2 monos, then that's good enough! :) Happy Holidays all.
How do you get Happy as an Audiophile?
There’s an interesting, relatively modern take on mental health called Positive Psychology. While not without it’s faults and detractors, PP has a very interesting approach. Instead of asking questions on the axis of illness and diagnosis PP asks questions on the scale of happiness:
What is it that makes you more or less content with your life and in your pursuits? How can these actions, events or states be codified and applied as general principles?
In the spirit of PP then I ask:
How do you get happy? What advice would you give an audiophile that asks "What is satisfying about being an audiophile, and what are the approaches that get me there? Do you personally know the answers for yourself? "
