Loved live music from my dad playing most of the greats on the piano (gave a few concerts and practiced regularly 3 hours a day) and participated in the Wisconsin Youth Orchestra as a kid playing bassoon. The epiphany came when I heard a system that could reproduce the live experience in the Sony Center in Berlin. From that moment on I attended shows, dealer listens, read voraciously and saved until I could get what I wanted. All my friends thought I was nuts. It's a great hobby that can be enjoyed life long. I wish there were more standards being followed for high end recording and production. It is magical when you get a great piece of music recorded properly playing on a high end system.
