Thank you!
Personality
I now find myself streaming most of the time. Although the SQ is really good, I realize there’s something missing. When I pull out a record or CD, each one seems to have a uniqueness or personality of its own which reflects when I first bought it or played it. Also each one seems to have a sound signature which I associate with it, making it more personal. I don’t get that with streaming
Does anyone else feel this way?

@mahgister it turns out both TIDAL and Qobuz have all the Auryn Haydn volumes. And on Qobuz all at 94kHz/24-bit. Listening to Op 1 now. On my little bedroom system (NAD M10 feeding DALI Menuet SEs) . Magnificent recording. Can’t wait to hear these recordings on my main system. thank you for the inspiration. |
Thanks for your answer and time . It seeems streaming is a solution after all for most people. Not for me i dont need it. But most need it for sure. Haydn quatuors are beautiful and perfect rivalled only by Mozart Quintets ( Not his quatuors) and Beethoven quatuors in my opinion...

Sounds like we persue very similar interests in very different ways. I have ADHD and as such seldom dive in a single direction deeply, I paint my increasingly large sphere of knowledge across disciplines, then layer after layer. I find rereading classic literature each time brings far deeper understaffing. Sounds like you may get it the first time. Even when working I was full time learning. As an exectutive I had an opportunity to work with and understand people and cultures from all over the world. Work with them to solve highly technical and social problems. To me this was fun for the outcome and in learning about consciousness and the interaction among humans. Behind this scenes when I could reading about consciousness... and chaos theory, astrophysics... because that was my first love. Fortunately the cost of books are not a problem for me. While not rich, I am financially able to support my curiosity. Now being retired I have virtual all my time to learn, so I do. In a way even participating in th forum is a way to learn. I get to apply my knowledge to new problems and examine them from different directions. |
OK, I am jealous that you can read War and Peace and want for more. I took runs at War and Peace over and over... probably couple times every decade and just couldn't get past the first chapter. But I have a terrible memory, so I could not keep the names straight... so that is probably it. I could not put down The Rise and the Fall of the Third Reich and Lord of the Rings when I was around 16 or 17. So, it depends on the content. Must be a limitation of my brain. Well, I'm jealous. Thanks for the tips on books. I'll put them on my list. I read Dostoevsky's The Idiot a few months ago... that brought a smile to my face. |
