I wonder if even half the members enjoy listening to music based on the topics and obsession? |
Yes, been doing it for the last few hours. |
What’s really cool is when you haven’t listened to something for awhile and you put it on and are surprised when it hits the sweet spot. |

It’s really a pleasure when you can turn your stereo on, enjoy the sound and music right off the bat
... That's what it's all about. |
All sound good here.... I fall asleep every evening listening to jazz piano, Bach or meditative music....I am on the Cantatas now .... Richter version is amazing with Fishcher-Dieskau in particular.... I wonder if even half the members enjoy listening to music based on the topics and obsession? Yes even if it takes me 2 years of experiments to do it right.... :) When all is right you know it.... Impossible to changes any playing cd, the beauty constraint you to listen till the end.... :) |
I agree. I am now at the point where I'm more focused on the music than the gear. |

This post is a marvel, everyone appears to be in agreement! I’m happy with my set up for now. I’ve been focusing on scooping up the Tone Poet reissues, the Blue Note 80th Anniversary reissues and just this week received the verve reissue of Getz/Gilberto. Drop the needle and sit in my favourite chair to listen and enjoy. It has been an absolute pleasure to be listening to records this past year or so. |
It is indeed a pleasure. Those that have this status on a long term basis are truly blessed.
For me it never lasts more than a couple of weeks before I start going nuts looking for the next tweak, or accessory, that will get rid of those new nasties I can now hear .....😢 |

Here are two related pleasures:
(a) Putting on an old tune you loved a long time ago (e.g. The Who’s 5:15) only to find that it’s been remastered and is now in "ultra HD" and you’re simultaneously reminiscing AND hearing it like you never did before.
(b) Finding that an old tune really doesn’t sound that great on your rig and then saying, "Whatever!" and setting all criticism aside so you can venture inside the music.

Absolutely right.
I'm listening three ways right now, #3 the simple pleasure you mention.
I've finished the TT upgrade, happy in all respects, and have a very successful cleaning method for my old LP's, actively cleaning in batches of 10.
1. listening while cleaning, quite enjoyable, but scattered involvement
2. playing cleaned ones, distracted by: sounds darn good, but is it a keeper? Likely to play it again? Sell it? I need room!
3. play a known keeper, sweet involvement as you describe

Putting on an old album that you haven't listened to in years because the SQ was irritating - and being very pleasantly surprised that now it's wonderful.Then trying a few more that used to make you cringe and finally you can smile and enjoy. |

Maybe I don’t have the best, most revealing system in the world. But I’m not going to worry about that. As long as I can enjoy the great sound I have, and not imagine how much better it can be, I’ll be happy. |
Good atitude! Enjoy what you have, after all, it is the pleasure of listening that counts!

Amen bother.
So just as an example, I recently bought a JBL Charge 4 so I could have some portable music mainly while sitting out back on our deck.
So it’s Bluetooth, it’s small, it’s mono! Everything non-audiophile.
But guess what it sounds great to me and I get to enjoy the music!
To me whatever you aspire to when creating a system if you enjoy the sound sit back and enjoy!
