I appreciate all of your thoughts. Memories are part of written and studied history. As has been said, if you're not a student of the past you are doomed to repeat it. With my sons, friends and family, we live in the present and have shared wonderful memories of our lives and adventures together. My brother was a history major, I had a successful business that I started with 10K and sold for well over 1M....and none of that business was about money. I donated to many, many civic/social groups including 25K to Women's Transit Authority which gave women in a dangerous situation safe rides to safety, and that is another good memory...which is not living in the past, simply part of my history. Harry Truman and Adolf Hitler both are a part of history, but greatly different impacts on history.
Room vs. Gear vs. time of life, ...and you?
This may hit home with a few that are of the "Boomer Generation"
Of all the very good to "state-of-the-art"(or near) systems I have had, I did have one I remember most fondly. My thoughts on that system over time I have realized was most likely impacted by what was likely my best time of life.
This is not crying in my soup, just my reality. My three very best friends have all died, two from cancer. I had my best house and room at that time and set the room up with a system based on the Magneplaner MG-20 speakers. Other items in that system varied a bit except for the Conrad Johnson ART pre-amplifier. My best of times listening to that system were with my best friend and some of the best wines from Bordeaux and California. In retrospect those were not the good old days, simply hitting a high point, much like my physical health, cars, mates, travel and other parts of life can have moments that in retrospect become those "fond memories". Part of my success in life has been having moments that do become fond memories.
