After a while it’s just sounds.
I find myself lately listening for spectacular sounding recordings ( as per my last post regarding the Alpine Symphony.) After a while I noticed that all I was listening for was just great sound in my listening sessions. And the sounds started sounding like weird noises devoid of meaning, even on my most beloved recordings.
This brings up the point of how we listen to music, and the attitude we bring to it. If we just listen for sounds the meaning disappears, and we’re left with disjunct noises making no sense. Not very enjoyable.
Thank the heavens, after realizing this I started listening for the meaning of the music and broke out of it.
Does this happen to you?

@rvpiano your (always seemingly heartfelt) posts are always interesting to me, and I take from them a genuine marvel at both music and gear, and the interplay of the two. And when one also prompts @hilde45 to drop some exquisite knowledge on us, well, that’s just a cherry on the sundae! To you, i urge, illegitimi non carborundum! |
Agree.
I’m not, but your last post above popped up on Recent Forum Activity which piked my curiosity on who you’re addressing and why There are only so many ways to describe the sound in a fixed audio chain setup. Likewise, there are only so many ways to discuss emotional engagement. Most on this forum enjoy interesting variety such as new gear and comparisons. Slicing and dicing down to minutia we usually lose interest. You seem to enjoy pondering such things, I simply ignore. |
@kennyc +1 Many Audiophiles on Audiogon still view the hobby with the glass half full even though we may critique components with a hard edge. This thread only promotes negativity within this great hobby. |
