Did your system ever get so good it pushed you out of the house?

One the one hand maybe. On the other maybe not.  

One the one hand maybe. On the other maybe not.  I think that covers it. 

Concerts for nationally known performers have become ridiculously expensive. And then you add in parking, beverages, snack, etc. and it gets even more ridiculous. Since I’ve already spent a lot on my home system, why not stay home and listen? For the most part, I don't give a damn about the visual aspect of live music, especially the dance troupes that come with a lot of the newer music. The bathrooms are better at my house than most venues too.

I’ve been inspired by my system and by Floyd Toole to check out the venue ejr mentioned, Boston Symphony.

My system being so good now, i cannot quit it and go to the concert...

Anyway i dont have the money and going out to a concert in these times in particular  is truly more about the friend i will go with than about the music.... :)

Anyway i enjoy human being one at a time and certainly not in crowd even relatively silent one in a Concert Hall...I dont go to movie either nor even to restaurant.... :)

This evening i try to choose between the Well tempered Klavier by Andras Schiff, a laserlike perfect total mathematical holographic playing, a perfect contemplation; and the less perfect but more living by the heart version of Vladimir Feltsman.... Impossible to choose between God and his son for me or between the eternal and the incarnated one ...

:)

The conclusion for my soul is on a very good system i cannot, and i dont want to see any spot light or people, apart from the musician playing with his inner light....

Embed your system or learn how to do it, and forget anything else....

My best to all....
