The obsession, the trees. The music, the forest.


I read with interest two current threads on this board dealing with azimuth and VTA adjustments. Couldn't help but think that those of you obsessed with these adjustments may not be "hearing" the forest for the trees. Now I like great sound as much as the next guy. And I've taken great care to setup my cartridge, but there comes a time when I just want to listen to music and the settings simply fade into oblivion. I'm curious if you obsessive types ever really relax enough to simply enjoy the music? I surely hope so for your sakes.

Jm88439,
It is okay for some of us, especially beginners to be obsessive about azimuth and vta at first. Once they are set right, we can then enjoy the music w/o worrying azimuth and vta and what not. Yes, enjoying the music is the goal, not listening to equipments. But I notice the "uptight", the tweakers are the kind of people who help me a lot in this art of music appreciation. So I like them very much too.
