How does one (grow) as a music listener/lover?


Passion for music has to be first and foremost.

I, like many of you have had my greatest experiences and (new) musical experiences, solely because of my home audio system. If not for this "passion", then my acting on that passion in the form of a qualilty home music reproduction system, I would have never enjoyed the music I was always fond of, but maybe, more importantly, music I was now willing to discover. I believe this maybe the most important aspect, for me..this, newfound, willingness to discover music I never would have even given much of a thought to............

Love the discovery part of this, great topic!  A good source for me is to cruise sites like Pitchfork monthly, looking for new releases. Also, the year end top album lists from those sites are great sources for new music, by new and established artists. 

YouTube is great as well, basically just look up a genre, year end list, or something like that, and down the rabbit hole you will go.  I've found more than a few artists through some low-fi amateur YouTube music reviews.
