Turned back into a music lover


If you can delight in the many wonderful subtleties of a performance instead of listening for audio thrills you’ve turned back into a music lover. The behemoth that is your audio system tempts you mightily. But if you can somehow evade that temptation, you can fully enjoy music again.

I dont remember the times when you are wrong... I think you are rarely wrong and with plenty of humor...

For sure you are right another time...

 

My best to you....

@mahgister, I can agree with your observations overall.

Since I'm deep into my diy 'stuff', listening in an analytical fashion comes with the attempt.  It has to, although just the enjoyment of "Hey, that worked!" still pulls one into the enjoyment and entertainment of what's being played for Proof.... ;)

I 'do what I do' to move the latter along....even if only for my own grins, and to make one wonder why I'm happier with my 'pile' v. their system.

I need only to impress myself, ultimately.....much like most.  😏

Right?

Listening to a John Mayall and playing on the inter webs, so I’m definitely not critically listening, but finding it very relaxing.

All the best.

That's what happened to me. And yet, I have big big plans: a new house chosen with a dedicated music room in , Carbon Quatros, Ref 250 SE , Ref5 SE.. 

But I'm now a record listener and collector. I've fallen in love with Stranded Records, Secret Records, Psychofon, and my very own home town Next Record Store  Is there anything as exciting as record store day? 

Lastly, if you're a post-punk fan, check out the Black Lennons

 

@vonharaland Cool, i bet it sounds wonderful…be sure to join other ardent music lovers at the forum where your speakers come from ;-).. Lots of RSD, etc discussions abound..

I used to live in Tucson. When I took a couple years off from work to have fun I found PDQ Records. It was enormous. I rode my bicycle over every day or two. Wonderfull experience… and largely responsible for my great collection now. Folks from Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, and audiophiles would fly there to shop.

 

Unfortunately, it closed recently.
