Is audio a kind of spiritual journey?


Hi,

Some weeks ago, I read a post in another audio forum that tried to explain that somehow the search for good sound is a spiritual journey.

It mad me think and I wonder, are we just searching for good sound? maybe that good sound is opening some windows or gates in us?

What lies at the essence of what experience when when our system sounds great?

what effect does that produces in us? is it just mere pleasure?
is there something more to it?
when we feel transported by the sound of a melody do we transcend the ordinary?

What do you think?

Well, yes i have those moments mostly with jazz, acoustic stuff, classical and a few rock bands. In my particular case, some of them are: Grateful Dead, CSNY, King Crimson, Mike Oldfield.
Do you start with OOOOHHHHMMMM?

Being a one time boat owner, I learned that the one thing better than owning a boat is having a friend who owns a boat. I had a buddy once who had a fantastic stereo. After about 2 hours of listening, he walked me to the door. I think the boat thing works out better.

Your boat comment put a smile on my face. I have friends in the boat business. I have a buddy whose family owns a Chris Craft boat repair business. I remember one of his hobbies was restoring an ol' Chris Craft.

I think he was the first one that told me -- "The 2 best days in a boat owner's life are, they day they buy the boat and the day they sell the boat."
