 I will illustrate  my point about the "I" transcending the robotic or the tribal ego  as well as the daimonic ego with a quote about consciousness because the ego robotic or possessed is not conscious... Only the transcendent Christic  "I" or At...

I hope to learn more about acoustics, but until then I agree with you that merely throwing money at an audio system is counterproductive and gauche. I will add some fact to illustrate the power of acoustics. In a system/room under  acoustic co...

Any piece of music will be enjoyed more if the recording is well done and if your system/room can translate this acoustic information for your ears... Once this common place fact is said, two of the greatest pianists i know are badly recorded... ...

All history is driven by archetypes and rooted in them...     Once this is said,the fact that there exist a mother achetype and a father archetype does not means that all physics  could be reduced to these underlying  archetypes.. ( we can easil...

@mahgister  I had a long session with chatgbt about developing a physics that might have been seen through a feminine lens, rather than our very masculine physics. I had the questions and chatgbt knew quantum physics pretty well. Together, we pu...

@mahgister  While I largely agree with your post, I’m skeptical that acoustics expertise and an affinity for high-end gear are mutually exclusive. I like gear. I appreciate rigorous engineering and elegant electronic design, I see beauty in im...

Now what about the future of music and of the threefold free social fabric ? We are not ready nor mature enough in our societies for the technology that was dropped on our heads... If you think that technology is marvellous, remember the Amish r...

There is successful audiophiles and obsessed audiophiles... If you had learned how to optimize a chosen synergetical system in a room for your ears you are a successful one.. If you are more obsessed by the gear design pieces and price  and goes...

I was lucky enough with a very low budget to be in the obligation to  learn the basics instead of "buying" my pleasure from always costlier upgrades... The most difficult part in term of gear :  Almost all low cost dac had no timbre naturalness.....

I dont give a damn about trends we must be conscious of ... I am interested only by individual musicians not so much by trends : be it  jazz, classical, or Persian and Indian etc...  Some trends even  repulse me even if the musician is a good on...

I listen music now not the sound,.... A minimally satisfying acoustical threshold was reached then it is enough satisfying  to forget the sound completely...  I pity anyone who buy gear in a squirrel wheel circle of upgrades..

@stuartk   I think audio-b-dog  is right here. If i had not already a huge amount of files i will stream... I am not motivated to do it because i had more music than most people here... But it is useful to stream a new composer or album befor...
