Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?
I’m 63. I’m not wealthy but I have a tolerant wife and I still love to pursue great sound. But I find myself increasingly reluctant to spend significant amounts on new gear. I know my hearing acuity is not as good as it used to be, but my love of music and good sound is not diminished. When considering a purchase, I find myself factoring in cost versus life expectancy (mine!) and auditory function. I’ll even have some guilt about spending my kid’s inheritance. Is something wrong with me?

I predict riots in the streets of Rodney King proportions.Alas! I think you are right.... And now unprepared for the uncontrolled health crisis, it is too late, and the economical crisis will be apocalyptic...Remember that the economical and financial crisis was already there ready to explode before the virus crisis.... Trump is right about the death toll that will be cause by the economical stop.... But he is completely wrong if he thinks that life in the world can go back to normal now without this health crisis ended and controlled....The geopolitical crisis is not separate from Us crisis in leadership.... This is a world leadership crisis also.... My best to you.... |
All epidemiologists describe the coronavirus, among others, monster to comes...Not only that was written by one but by many in books or interviews... Be it Dr. Fauci or Dr. Raoult and many less known others... They even gives advice to be cautious for the near future in few years terms.... But who listen to science when we can play Golf or travel.... Ask m. Macron in France. M. T. in US. or Trudeau in Canada....The only place where some brain is at the wheel is in south Korea and few other well prepared places...And guess why the powers that be and will be dont care for a real health care system? Sorry for the inconvenient truth.... |
jndean Beautiful post, but I am not so wise; just enough tough to admire your composure…. For my audio journey, it is simple, whatever I has in the past, this was always not so good S. Q. not because of the electronic component brands, but because I learned to embed them correctly only in the last 2 years.... Result: I enjoy Hi-Fi for the first time in my life....I realize also most people dont know what it is..... And almost nobody explain systematically how to embed an audio system anywhere, only hints mostly from sellers of tweaks... Then people thinks that a tweak or two will suffice for embellishment....Tweaks are costly and most think about that like snake oil.... I never bought tweaks I replicate them homemade.... Then dont buy anything, thinks, experiment and have fun: this is audio....I will have 69 in few months, and my ears are old but healthy and i hears any subtle change easily not because my age dont work but because I had learn to listen.... Thanks God for my luck.... My best to you... |
