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?

It def happens. My most recent tweaky addition was an external clock. It's connected to my ethernet switch, streamer, and both my DDCs. Now I can't stop tapping my toes and doing dork dances in my chair. Crazy sounds plus rhythm. If you're gonna go all in, consider a clock. 

Learn how to play an instrument.Any instrument.Once you do you will understand the meaning of listening.People who obsess over equipment don't understand.

If you were a concert pianist then it sounds like you are in a state of depression that smears the joy of your sensory perceptions.
