Playing Pink Floyd The Wall Side 4, nice and loud. Kind of loud live would be if they would keep it just short of harmful. Kind of loud you feel it. Run Like Hell comes and the lead guitar riffs are just exhilarating and have me going and then the beat picks up and I catch myself hyperventilating again. Its just so crazy clear and present and you are there, all I can say is Thank you, Krissy. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so very much.
Who is Krissy? And millercarbon, as far as the details of Run Like Hell are concerned, that was a long time ago for most of us, like college days, and just because someone doesn't like Pink Void doesn't mean they don't know music.

Here I was thinking that being on an audiophile oriented site people might be familiar with The Wall and know Run Like Hell features a guy actually running and you hear his breathing and maybe even might get that your music could be so good you could get so caught up in it you catch yourself breathing along with guy in the song. But no. Not here. Don't know audio. Don't know music. Don't know nothing just love to knock em all.
Oh well. They have no idea, do they, Frank? No idea at all.
Correction, Millercarbon did not say he had an exhilarating moment, he had a "hyperventilating" moment. I think what he needs to know is that most of us here, but not all, are men. What possibly would make him think we personally give a sh*t if he is hyperventilating? Maybe things are different in the Northeast?
^^^ Well, allow me to interject a little more joy here.
I had a tube of PPT Total Contact left and was wondering what to do with it. So, I spent the morning taking my little Audioengine A2+ speakers apart and pasting the entire interior. Anything I could reach got pasted. The result? I have total confidence that I now have the best sounding Audioengine A2+ speakers on the entire planet. Here’s the kicker ... all of us who have used this now-discontinued product knows that there is a definite break-in period over an eight-week period. If the initial results are this good, what will it be like when the eight-week jump takes place? Two little desk-top speakers, a PC, and Spotify can sound like THIS??? Wow ... just wow!
So the implication here is that the only reason @millercarbon had an exhilarating musical experience, nearly sending him into hyperventilation and perhaps on the verge of anaphylaxis was due SOLELY to the products provided by Krissy. Nothing else in the system? "Everything matters" is no longer the case in an an audio system - this intense feeling can only be brought on by a tweak or series of tweaks. That is clearly what is implied here. If in fact everything does matter in audio (which I would agree with completely - including tweaks) then it was completely arbitrary to attribute this over the top joy to any single vendor or component.
Mick Ronson's guitar solo in the outro of Bowie's Moonage Daydream. The final phrases in pianist Andre Watts' first recording of Liszt's La Campanella. Neither recording is exactly the tops in high fidelity but the madness the two bring to bear is truly existential.
Strunz & Farah "Primal Magic". Twice last night, the whole album, then Led Zeppelin, Houses of the Holy. Memory or two...with that one.. Great album. Pure bliss.
Flamingist, something about that type of music, Al Di Meola, Strunz & Farah. I've heard Carlos with both live.. Incredible..
Pink Floyd.. One of a few concert where I never saw much action on stage, but heard the music, and admired the crazy stuff flying around the joint. Same with, ELO, Emerson Lake & Palmer and Tangerine Dreams.
Can't imagine what that little blotters of paper had on um'.. OH YEA Technicolor....BABY...
Yeah, yeah, Ted, Keith, DJ and Chris, its a team effort. Would love to recruit Peter, Dave, Eric- and if I could get Frank it would be a frikkin Dream Team. But the back office says not this season.
'Toccata and Fugue in D minor', from, 'The Fox Touch', does that to me, when played at realistic (in the Crystal Cathedral) levels. The guitar in, 'Money' (MFSL/DSOTM), raises the hair on the back my neck (never mind, the rest of me). That's with a Soundsmith cart (high compliance, on a Magnepan arm).
