The Forest for the Trees

I caught myself last night doing something that I need to do more. I was listening to the music. I wasn’t concerned with imaging, sound stage, tonal quality, wasn’t even thinking about it. I was listening to the music. It engaged me, I was lost in it. But then, I caught myself and started thinking about why it engaged me. It sounded awesome because all of the qualities listed above were there. I need to remind myself to enjoy this hobby more for the music than the pursuit of perfection. It feels good when it happens and you don’t even know it is happening.

" Wrong forum for actually enjoying music."

Tablejockey, Check out the music section of audiogon. It is very good & may be what you're looking for.

One thing I enjoy more than anything else. I’m working on something, it’s not going quit to plan, and in the background that perfect song comes up,
on the MC, or a playlist, or in my head.. Go over listen for a minute, put the song on you were thinking about, and... It’s all better. Thing go better with music and dancing...... Cha Cha Cha!!!, I don’t care, I like it...

Regards

“I’m cleaning and Donna and I are listening to over 2,500 LPs now?”

I read these posts more for amusement these days since I’m so pleased with my system. Gloat. It’s wonderful to reach a point where I can listen to tunes until 2 am without fatigue. It’s partially a mind set. I could upgrade here and there but I find it annoying. 
No plans to upgrade. Just want to listen and enjoy.

I can manage mediocre music (for at least a little while) if the reproduction is good enough and if the music is good enough I can stand a pretty terrible recording, but when it's a great recording of great music I'm on top of the world.  I gotta say, too, that there's plenty of stuff out there that does ring both bells.  It's what powers my love of this hobby/obsession.  I never get tired of it.  I never burn out.
