Not a bad idea.
LoFi
My sound system is down for repairs (I don’t know for how long). I’m now reduced to listening to music on Alexa’s transmission of WQXR, New York’s classical music station, in LoFi. Surprisingly, I’m getting into the music more easily. Without the distraction of sonic values, I’m able to totally concentrate on the music itself. I don’t need Hifi and soundstaging to “get” the musical message. it brings me back to my youth when I listened on a table radio and first fell in love with music. I find that I now can follow a piece of music from beginning to end more easily.
Not that I’m ready to give up the hobby. Just an interesting observation.

@russ69 , I have the same speaker and do the same thing. Great for dinner background music. I also dig the retro amp look. |
I always like reading @rvpiano 's threads. he always has solid points that make you think. and the more you think, the more valid his points are. he incites great responses, too. well done, RV. Keep up the great threads. Hope you find a solution to your issue. |
My first "real" system was a pair of Audio Physic Step speakers, driven by a Bryston B60 amp, with a VPI Scout TT. The sound from this setup would cause me to stop what I was doing (usually tying trout flies) and just freakin listen. My son, in high school at the time, would bring his buddies over when I was not home ( I would have killed him if I had known) and play LP's. They were in total awe. I've "upgraded" many times since , and usually there was a noticeable improvementt, some minor, and some better. However, all those combined did not compare to the "WOW", I got from that first set up. |
