Get your own generator, diesel preferably. Oh, and it is SardinIa of course, not Sardina and they have wonderful music there......warm regards!

I suggest Sardina, Greg, not the Costa Smeralda, but the wild part in the mountains, where there are still bandits (sometimes) and true hospitality (mostly) and some of the old people still think, that strangers are messengers of (the) God(s). Its... 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Greg, how true. This however is beter than nothing at all. Warm greetings to all who participated and thankyou. I learnt a lot and got new directions to ruminate on and ponder about. A great gift in itself!! 
Speaker Cables - 15 Ft. or "No Wife"
True, true, you're not called "Metaphysics" for nothing! You have the insight. Cheers!

What a wonderful thread Cornfedboy and from a lawyer no less.....it reminds me of a recurrent phantasy which I had in younger times of being a jazz trumpeter or a bassplayer in the days of be-bop and the "cool", or playing dixie, or singing the bl... 
Help needed to set up an analog system
Tell us how much you think you would like to spend and we can go on from there.....Regards, 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Greg, I think your point is of great validity and importance. I would say, if we get an inkling of the "gestalt" of a performance, can feel something of the general atmosphere, as in your striking example, especially of course in suroundings and c...

Speaker Cables - 15 Ft. or "No Wife"

Before They Were Famous
Oh, just for my bit, its classical, it was Friedrich Gulda, and we both (unwittingly and later, wised up but unwillingly ) shared the same girlfriend, an up and coming pianist as well. Yes , glory days and so long gone.....Gulda died about two yea... 
Music for "Tough Times"
Oh, I forgot...and sometimes its Frank Zappa at his bawdiest best....I must unblushingly admit. 
Music for "Tough Times"
Kat and Frogman, my response was more to make sure, not to question, because apart from the serious stuff, which I posted above, Spike Jones is also for me a good antidote to a specific kind of the old morosity blues. By the way Kat& Frogman, ... 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Katharina, Frogman, thankyou! You've tought me something. I realise now, that hi-fi as a hobby has indeed to be strictly separated from the experience of actively listening to music. It's quite obvious to me, that tweaking my system, placing speak... 
Lifting grounds in the system.
