The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio

The message I am receiving from some of the posters is this: "I can only enjoy music when listening to it on my main system". I find this very sad, and I also know too many who do not really care about the music, but "love the sound". As I said above here, my "system" allows me to hear the music more easily (details, dynamics, spatial cues, etc.). I love music whenever it is on, on whatever it is I am listening through. Using music at hospitals and nursing homes (with both of my parents) were through boom boxes. Enjoy! MrD.

Hi all,

For those who do not recognize him, as an MD/biochemist, Dr. Collins went as high as one can go in this country (or most).  

These gents bring common sense and world class research together like few other can...

Wikipedia - 

Francis Sellers Collins ForMemRS (born April 14, 1950) is an American physician-scientist who discovered the genes associated with a number of diseases and led the Human Genome Project. He served as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, from 17 August 2009 to 19 December 2021, serving under three presidents.^[1][2]

Before being appointed director of the NIH, Collins led the Human Genome Project and other genomics research initiatives as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the 27 institutes and centers at NIH. Before joining NHGRI, he earned a reputation as a gene hunter at the University of Michigan.^[3] He has been elected to the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences, and has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Science.

During the day and evening, I listen to my not-quite-audiophile-but-far-better-than-mid-fi system. At night, to relax me in bed, I listen to the same music (Classical mostly) on a pocket radio with a 1.5" speaker that's tuned for talk. No, it doesn't sound nearly as good, but it's still the music that I like and I usually drift off to sleep most peacefully.

Given my druthers, of course, I'd have as good a system in my bedroom but my wife would divorce me and I don't want that.

....one begins to wonder what sort of company one's keeping.....

....maybe....

Just a late night tease, y'all..... ;)

...I'm just trying to be a good citizen, keeping that which they might abuse and 'damage' themselves and/or others....

....somebody's got to stand up and take it! ;))
