High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music?

Thoughts anybody?

I like turtles.......

Well kind of... My wife can't seem to keep her hands off me when I'm listening to the big rig. Kind of distracts me from the music. 

Only during the initial evolutionary phases of the set up process when you listen to your system instead of the music. Once things come together, the speakers disappear completely and buzz-words cease to have meaning because it’s just the sound of music in the room, completely detached from the speakers without any distractions or distortions. There isn’t a system anymore; it’s just you and the recording. Pure romance.

Well no argument sucking the money out of bank accounts.

There was something nice about the good old days when if you wanted to listen to music you could just turn on your system,  insert any CD, press play, and enjoy..........

Now I have to plan hours (or days?) in advance to turn everything on to warm it up,  pick the best "audiophile" recordings to listen to,  and sit dead center in the sweet spot to listen.    And of course turn off all lights with dimmers and hope my refrigerator or the heater doesn't start running.

As for romance.........not sure yet but with valentines day coming I will soon have to decide of there will be any music.  And if there is I will have to turn my system on tomorrow.
