| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! To repeat myself:"The problem is in the OP's head......"That is not meant to be derogatory. But based on everything said by the OP so far there does not seem to be a tangible equipment issue nor is there any lack of moving, well recorded well play... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? Up through high school I was also much more into the harder rock. Zep was the least 'hard rock' of them all. Still listened to a lot of heavier stuff in college. Then a lot of Rush, Genesis, Yes and other prog stuff. Then got into U2 then REM. Th... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! I can enjoy listening to the equipment. But not for long and that is not what makes me turn it on every day. If that was the point of this hobby for me and I could never be satisfied with what I heard then I would get a new hobby.There is nothing ... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? @stevecham : I listened to a lot of the same bands. Also BTO. The Sweet. Remember hiding the Black Sabbath albums from my parents.I think in 1980 a single album was $7-8 bucks and was a big purchase for me.I also remember reading every single line... | |
| Levels... I have hearing loss and ringing due to abusing my ears in my youth....and some in my not-so-youth.I now wear hearing protection for everything, lawn mower, shop-vac, all power tools other than a drill, tractor. I keep hearing protection around eve... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! At least two people have responded that they can help the OP in ways no one else can but only outside of the Audiogon environment. @dave_b even suggests that none of the advice the OP has gotten here is honest or practical and that he can solve t... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! "I sold them because my audiophile cousin said they sounded like crap."Uh oh. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky.So well produced. Could be a system reference work for me. And then there is the song "Get Lucky". In general I'm into more serious and even sometimes dark stuff, which Knopfler provides plenty of and always has. But the ... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! "This is probably heresy. But my advice is to go see a live band. Go have a few drinks, dance, and get away from your gear."That's pretty good advice no matter what the problem happens to be! | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? Ah, I forgot about Kansas.Yes, there was plenty going on in the late 70s and early 80s and I was more into British bands but it seems like the bands I mentioned seemed to get a lot of the attention but have not survived as well as Floyd, Yes, Elto... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? What did you say? ;-) | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? My ears rang for 12 solid days after the 1982 Foreigner concert. I counted them. | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! @acman3 : "I am not bored listening to the car radio, or my friends crappy system."To me that is important. If there aren't songs that move you regardless of what they're being played on then the problem probably isn't with the system.@three_easy... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? @hodu : "Not necessarily."In the medium sized southern city where i lived in 1977 there were no radio stations playing The Clash, Talking Heads or even Zeppelin. For one fairly short period of time we had no rock stations at all. All easy listenin... | |
