If you lost your stereo system would you still ???

Would you still be enthralled by the music. Enjoy and listen to it. How much difference does a fine stereo make to you. Lets say you would have a $500 to listen to. Are you too concerned about the accuracy or would you still listen because you love the nusic. I think I would still listen but would always want more. I think that whats drives us. The audio bug. A $5000 system is not good enough. A $10,000 is not good enough and so on. But what would you do if the $500 system is all you will have to live with. Will you abandon your hobby? I know I would spend less time. Mike

Back in the 70's, I was driving in my car listening to the AM jazz station. The DJ said: "Okay, jazz fans, get your cassette recorders ready because I'm going to play something really special for you now."

The something special turned out to be a recording of the great classical guitarist John Williams playing Rodrigo's Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra.

It was so beautiful that I pulled my car over, took out a pad and pen, wrote the performance down and headed for the nearest record store.

This is what I bought, and its still one of my favorite recordings of classical guitar in the entire collection. Highly recommended:
