If your down on your system…


If your down on your system, ask yourself, are you listening for the sound or for the music.  If the answer is for the sound, then try to do a mind bend, and forget the sound for a moment.  Take a deep breath and try to get into the music you’ve selected. After all, you’ve hopefully selected it for the music itself and not just for the sound.  That’s where the payoff is.
 I know this sounds simplistic and has been mentioned a lot in this forum, but it’s
a technique that works for me.

We cannot forgot the sound if  we are under the threshold of a very bad timbre reproduction...

If we are slightly over it it become possible...

Alas! unlike when i was a child i dont want to simply listen to music but also to listen to it in the better possible conditions...

The OP is a spiritual person or a musician, for them it is more easy to forgot the sound...
I’ve been down on the farm, down on the beach, down on the corner, down on my luck, down in my basement and down on my neighbor. But I’ve never, ever been down on my system.
