Our Responsibility
As my music system competes with fireworks in the background (4th of July, after 9 pm) I’ve been reflecting on John Darko’s recent post (linked below). Specifically this section:
Perhaps the significance and import of this very special day in our national history has opened up a window within me, to explore this further.
I’m asking our community: What is it that we can do to share and expand our interest and hobby, and this special love of music, with others?

"Being a hi-fi enthusiast isn’t about the gear we own, the music we listen to or in which format. It’s about how we listen: attentively and mindfully, to the music AND to others."

noromance ... My folks (parents) almost disowned me when I started playing Bebop jazz back in the 50s. They had a Garrad turntable, a Fisher tube receiver, a couple of AR speakers and a pair of Koss headphones. It sounded good, but all they played was Herb Alpert, The Smothers Brothers, and Burl Ives. They just didn't get Charlie Parker and Diz. *lol* |
david_ten ... Thanks, I appreciate the thought, but ... the new generation isn't into this stuff. Totally addicted to their phones and I-pads though. They are so busy with their careers, there isn't much time for them to listen anyway. noromance ... "The Gate" is worth every penny of that five grand. To get the kind of upgrade in SQ allowed by "The Gate," one would have to spend many times that amount. Doing things over again, "The Gate" would be my first upgrade. I'd love for you to hear my system at this point. It is quite remarkable. Frank |
dseltz ... To answer your question, "The Gate" is a device that is placed into and connected to, your circuit breaker box. It will transform your system like nothing else. Go here for information: www.perfectpathtechnologies.com Frank |
