I just can’t seem to enjoy the music of my youth when I stream. For the most part, the sound is awful. On the other hand when I listen to a Contemporary Digital recording I find that I can be in audio bliss. On a positive note, I have discovered way more artists than I ever thought possible. I can’t imagine if AC/DC and Van Halen sounded good. Why would I need anything else?
how else would I have found? Slim Dunlap?
More enjoyment
In my never-ending quest to achieve more enjoyment from my stereo, I’ve found one more strategy to do so. Without eliminating the quest for enjoying the sheer sound of the equipment.
I try to, at first, just choose music that I really love, regardless of sound. I try to forget about the sonics completely and go completely for the music. I know this is very hard to do. But if I approach my music that way, little by little I can find my way back into the sound , and the combination of music and sonics is blissful.

@gkelly , same here eg. Moody Blues and Foghat. My music selection is definitely influenced by SQ over material. But I’ve discovered a lot of new music thanks to streaming. I have a premium factory stereo in my vehicle and it’s significantly more forgiving than my home stereo so I tend to play my 60’s rock while driving. Richard always good to see you post !

When my system/room was not optimized yet i was completely frustrated even when listening my Bach or my liked jazz... Now i focus only on my music.... A system cannot work better than his own peak potential but most of the times it is enough to reach "minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold " M.A.ST. a level many people dont reach at any cost.... When music begin to impose itself and sound become the messenger conveying it we are there ... I type these words listening Vivaldi sonatas OP 2 with Kovacs and Sebastyen... I listen to it since the first year of CD... i tried other versions nothing work, even if the sound recorded of my beloved version is a bit "acid" i hear it thousand times, because of the interpreters pulse which is unique.. The pulse is a rythmic musical element that cannot be written in notation nor measured...it can only be felt....Furtwangler interpretation of Schuman no 4 or Chet baker Tokyo concert or Miles Davis "kind of blue" convey a perfect pulse... When all musician plays in the same wave and when one spoke . the pulse is there like a voice wave vibration... |
