As a builder of components my 24 year old son and his friends have heard my system and what it is capable of. They even play some of their own music on it form time to time. Being that they are never in one place very often, the idea of having a system to them is not something at this time they are interested in. Same with my old guitars. No interest in buying one of those for themselves either. They don't listen to music to hear the tone of the instrument or separation, etc. They just sign along to what they like and have the ability to hear music whenever they want and for free.

Perhaps the significance and import of this very special day in our national history has opened up a window within me, to explore this further.
I’m asking our community: What is it that we can do to share and expand our interest and hobby, and this special love of music, with others?

"Being a hi-fi enthusiast isn’t about the gear we own, the music we listen to or in which format. It’s about how we listen: attentively and mindfully, to the music AND to others."
