If a tree falls in the forest…

LOL , I was on a lake all alone up in a deep cove and a huge dead pine tree exploded and crashed down the side of the hill above me. The other vegetation stopped it from sliding down into the water. It was FLIPPING LOUD ! So that’s my tree statement I’ve always wanted to make. 😆 Ah Richard you’re always appreciated and even though we are on opposite sides of the country and I listen to rock, I appreciate you and feel a connection. I remember the first conversation we had about tubes and I felt compelled to mail you a few pairs to try. Life is good , enjoy the music. God’s sitting right next to us and we’re never alone. That pine tree shattered into a hundred pieces as it crashed down the hill and God was definitely involved. Cheers , Mike B. 

If only you hear it and love it that’s enough.  Enjoy! 

No need to be wistful, our hobby is solitary by design. There is only one sweet spot!

Just added to my listening list!

I am not a big fan of the Alpine Symphony.  It has some audiophile spectacular moments, such as the storm scene , but wears out its 45 minute welcome pretty early, imo.

   This is a solitary hobby.  We all have moments when we are caught up in bliss listening to something and wish we could share that feeling with someone but it’s rare.  Concerts are best because there are many other listeners and it’s easy to tell when others are as moved as yourself-or not.  One reason why recordings are unable to fully replicate the concert experience
