The music transports you to the scene. You feel like you are in a club or a blues bar or a concert hall or a rock concert, a cathedral. One of my favorites is the Carly Simon, “Live at Grand Central”. The ambience is amazing. I close my eyes and I am in Grand Central Station. Quite the recording.
Qualities Of An End-game System
Qualities of an end game system:
- Speakers disappear
- The room disappears
- The listener disappears, his mind is shut down/gone.
- There is nothing left but the perception of falling into an abyss filled with music.
- The listener doesn't know where any of the music came from, but, it is all inside of him. Sex, drugs, etc can't come even remotely close to such an experience of pure audio nirvana.
If your system can't do that (whatever it may be), you have no end game.
