@ghdprentice you speak truth my friend. I’m tired of chasing and I’m happy. I understand just like the saying in the old mob movies. EVERYTIME I TRY TO GET OUT THEY KEEP PULLING ME BACK IN!
Qualities Of An End-game System
Qualities of an end game system:
- Speakers disappear
- The room disappears
- The listener disappears, his mind is shut down/gone.
- There is nothing left but the perception of falling into an abyss filled with music.
- The listener doesn't know where any of the music came from, but, it is all inside of him. Sex, drugs, etc can't come even remotely close to such an experience of pure audio nirvana.
If your system can't do that (whatever it may be), you have no end game.

That sort of brougt to mind something Steve Earle was quoted as saying, something to the effect of, "Cocaine is like golf, it's white, you hit it, and then you chase it all day." However, better sound isn't white and you can chase it for way more than a day. It can cost a lot of money though. |
On another thread I spoke about Welcome To the Pleasuredome, which is 40 years young this year. Listening to this, cranked, hearing Mark O'Toole's bass line in all of it's glory, and the rest of the band's instrumentals, vocals, and sounds, has me enjoying a system that " never stops ". When I hear the musicians do their thing, and I am " involved " with the listening experience, well, that's all folks. Enjoy ! MrD. |
There are other "etcs" besides sex and drugs. Sex - Once you have enough of it, it is not all that much of a thrill even when it is the most attractive partner. Maybe, guys who haven’t gotten laid all that much exalt it a bit too much. Drugs, liqor - For many a habitual user out there, it is no longer some god sent euphoria. It is just managing to get the bare fix for the day.. The other "etcs" could vary from person to person, of course. I wonder if folks have become too insensitized to just everything... For example, i could be riding my motorcycle on rural roads enveloped with the wind i could feel really good. I could fast for a day, visit my fav thai restaurant and i could feel really really good. I could practice certain forms of meditation for a certain period and it could produce varying forms of ecstasy. Audio nirvana stands on its own for me, unmatched. The emotions, minds of all kinds of different artists...the melodies, etc all pour into my room and we just dissolve together in an ecstatic fashion.
