Why Do You Listen? A Poll Question

SOUND

COME ON GUYS

😰

@stuartk

Because someone asked me to. I guess you missed that post.

@jjss49 

If I see something online I disapprove of but others seem to enjoy.....I just go somewhere else. I don't try to COP people in the pursuit of controlling what they talk about, but different strokes I guess.

"I take exception with your first hypothesis.  Why would anyone "choose" to listen to bad audio quality?  "

people in the original thread stated that is exactly what they do, and that they don't mind as long as the hear music. That's really the point of the question. At least two stated they did, so I figured..."How random is that?"

@mihorn 

"Human ears don't lie. If you've been listening a good music, you ears can't stand a bad sound/music. "

Exactly how I feel. Good music based on what I like MUST sound great, otherwise I don't listen to it. Can't do it.

Thins even goes back to original thread, "is there some things certain people hear that others can't that makes them audiophile?"

Right now I'm listening to GoGo Pengin " A Humdrum Star".

I mainly listen to acoustic bass trio's and solos, Peo Alfonsi, Enzo Pietropaoli, Japanese Koto  "Keiko", but also Opera , Jose Cano "Luna", but also Dead Can Dance Live and Mahler and Wagner, even some Shelac.

My tastes are varied, BUT IT MUST SOUND SPECTACULAR. Thats why I've spent 30 years trying and I think succeeded in building a simple inexpensive GREAT sounding system.

Thank you all for contributing.

Or

Placido Domingo Luna

@kota1 

I think if you've never been in to opera, Luna, which is modern, might be a nice intro for you.

"So, I found Luna (Alessandra Safina) and Turandot (Nessun Dorma, Andre Bocelli Live in Centra Park)."

LOL

That's not the record I was thinking of but I'll look for that today!

Glad you liked it.
