Where in Florida did you build?
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.

I'm here to tell you that some of us are into the music. The only reason I stepped up at all was to hear my favorite artists in a more revealing way. It's why I go to shows and keep digging through Tidal, Spotify, and record bins in stores and garage sales. I read and listen to new stuff all the time. When you do find something, it really comes alive on a good system. I quit an audio club because no one wanted to play anything new. Oh by the way, I started the club. I also remember a friend and I would grab the tray and some beers and listen to new stuff. It was fantastic! |
Hey Mr. rvpiano, I think most of us began just loving music from a table radio or in the car. One reason you may like your low-fi set up is that you aren't locked in to one position and can now again move around and enjoy it anywhere in the room. There's a lesson in that someplace for all of us. Enjoy. |
