Self-indulgent? Probably not. System actually sounding better than usual? Unlikely. Feeling fortunate, in the face of what Irene did in places like upstate NY? Maybe. Both our sub-conscious and music are powerful forces.
Every so often it happens ...
I rarely start a thread, but I am feeling a bit self-indulgent today.
So, maybe Hurricane Irene has cleaned out the air sufficiently that my secondary system sounds magical. The system is nothing special by Audiogon standards ... a Prima Luna Prologue Two tube integrated, Rega Apollo CD player, and Ascend Acoustics Sierras speakers. No idea what the cables are ... I think Audioquest ICs and QED speaker wires. Tubes are definitely EH 6CA7.
Just played the Band's 'Stage Fright' and am now listening to Stills & Young 'Long May You Run.' Sounds like Levon Helms and Stephen Stills dropped by to stay awhile and play.
Super!
