One of the most pleasurable aspects of this hobby!

Over the decades I have found that 'discovering' various types of music or songs has been just as pleasurable as the hardware experience..

For example, the first time I heard the song 'Take Five', by Dave Brubeck, was on an old tv show called 'The Secret Life of Machines'.  It was the opening song for the show.  It took me some time to track down who's song this was, and even the name of it.  As soon as I did, off I went to purchase the album!  

Another time was hearing the song  'A Summer Place' by Percy Faith, on the radio.  Again, it took some time to discover who did the song and what the name of it was.  I could go on and on, and I'm sure you have your own special examples....Part of listening to these songs and albums over and over is the memories they invoke within your spirit.

There was always great personal satisfaction in eventually discovering who made those particular songs that caught your attention.  

Today, with smartphone technology all one needs to do is look at their screen and it will tell you the name and band playing it.  With a few quick swipes you'll have it delivered to your door or 'playlist' .

Enjoy the software!!

Whatever floats your boat.  

I’ve always been a full-album (CD) guy who enjoys physical media.

For me, it’s discovering new (to me) artists. But even with my favorite artists there are a limited number of recordings I’ll end up buying, as I never buy a CD for the sake of 2 or 3 songs. It’s the whole enchilada or nothing for me.

"Diminish" ? huh? Where’s this coming from? 

When I said "whatever floats your boat", I was affirming "glad you’re happy with your approach."   

I then merely went on describe what brings me satisfaction. Do you only get along with people who agree with your opinions 100%  ?  Audio is a hobby characterized by differences in approach. Most of us are perfectly fine with this. If you’re looking for lock-step uniformity, you’re not likely to find it here.

FYI, I have a masters in Counseling Psych., have both provided mental health counseling to others and have many years of my own therapy under my belt. No shortage of self-awareness here. 

I suggest you take a look at why you automatically assume you’re being attacked when, in fact, you’re not.
