Now that IS a good one!!!

"Now that IS a good one!!!"

The only small imperfection is that he repeats it weekly.

Also worth remembering that to go from nothing to your first system was an incomparably larger step to go from your 400 watts Thorens/ Technics system to your current Audio Note system.

I'm not suggesting that your current system isn't better, reason suggests it must be, but nothing, no system on earth, will ever make that same qualitative leap for you ever again as your first system did.

It's pretty well the same way for me when I watched a colour TV for the first time in the 1970s after years of watching only black and white.

Unforgettable and unrepeatable.

CRT to LCD to LED to OLED are all comparitvely small steps now but if I had seen a current 65 inch OLED back in 1974....

I guess that's also why cinema used to be so magical also in those days. These might be 'the days of miracle and wonder' but let's not forget that anyone growing up since the 1950s will be a lot more jaded now than their predecessors would have been.

It has to take something quite extraordinary to make us pause nowadays, but right now it's best not to go there.

The system you mention.as yours as in mine is from previous thread reply.from another....

My system...thankly is not worth 40k

IMO, newer systems sound better than older systems (1970s), by a pretty large margin. However, some of the most enjoyable music I’ve listened to came out of an AM radio with a cracked speaker.

I can’t be 20 years old and hanging out with my girlfriend and a group of friends at the beach without a care in the world anymore. So I try to enjoy what I still can. That includes a much better stereo. If I can’t be 20 again, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my stereo and music. It just means I have to do it differently now.
