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.

I have what I consider a very revealing, neutral, hefty system….. early rock Stones, Led Zeppelin, G.dead etc …. They are dead, damn

Thank you so much for those quotations from Hesse. They are right on. When I was a kid all I had was a small AM kitchen radio to listen to.  And with it I discovered and reveled in the whole world of music.

Just to express the obvious, listening for sound and listening for music are different human endeavors.  The former is all about the brain and the ego. The latter is about the brain and the soul. 

The combination is Nirvana.

Eloquent.  Personally, I find the use of various font sizes and bold detracts from rather than enhances your eloquent prose.  Other than that, exactly where we audiophiles should be grounded.

My apologies for the mismatched fonts…that was not my intention, but navigating through this site to make it all uniform after my cut & paste proved beyond my abilities and/or patience.
