That’s a pretty dark take, but OK. The pleasure of hearing a virtusuo ply his trade and turn an instrument into an absolutely sublime experience is more than just a consumer purchase. It just is. I sometimes listen to records, older somewhat obscure pressings brought to life with improved sonics and frankly am taken aback with their abilities.It’s like how could I have not appreciated this earlier.Really, it’s because now I hear more clearly the nuances. Maybe I’m filling a void but it’s a bit presumptuous to paint us music lovers as being empty inside.
