Happy Scale
I found this reply interesting on the "Happy Scale" of our present systems vs. One's of the past.
Great topic to contemplate. In the mid 80's My first stereo at 23 was pretty good. 400 watts of SAE power, Technics SBE 200 speakers, Thorens TD 124 TT. All vinyl. For me and my friends, it was unbeleiveable how good it sounded. Fast forward 30 years.... I now own a $40,000 Audio Note system. It may "technically" sound better but it doesn't make me any happier on MY happy Scale. My friends don't talk about my present system but they sure talked about my system 30 years ago. I was the guy with the stereo. It felt good.
Rich or poor keep searching to achieve those 10/10 happy scale moments. Happy is just plain happy. Period. It's what we live for.
Can anyone add to the mix...during these isolated times?
Cheers
