The obsession, the trees. The music, the forest.


I read with interest two current threads on this board dealing with azimuth and VTA adjustments. Couldn't help but think that those of you obsessed with these adjustments may not be "hearing" the forest for the trees. Now I like great sound as much as the next guy. And I've taken great care to setup my cartridge, but there comes a time when I just want to listen to music and the settings simply fade into oblivion. I'm curious if you obsessive types ever really relax enough to simply enjoy the music? I surely hope so for your sakes.

Is someone who requires a higher standard, and has gained the skill to achieve it necessarily uptight? I hear "uptight" as, possibly, an excuse made by one who is unsure of his ability to wring the best from his gear and wishes to divert attention.

Many of us don't really give a care how one enjoys any aspect of this hobby, but are happy to have this forum to share and gain tweakers tips when needed, or musical performance recommendations when that is our interest.

Enjoy the hobby the way you prefer to. It's not necessary to characterize the method of other people's enjoyment.
