Ive found out just what Ill do if my main rig went away
Id adjust. Some way or tother. Id slide into something far less expensive too, Im pretty sure.
Im not entirely sure it is because I love music though. It probably is however. I know this because during the Sweet jumpijn Jellyfish!, past year, Ive been making a lot of changes around here and my main deal has been all but shelved. Just sitting there covered up with towels. Since Feb. 08 it might have been played 30 hours. Maybe.
I kept getting more and more despondent & disinterested in music by and large. But I never put it together. My ongoing disinterest in music, and the absence of fine sounding tunes being played regularly..
Yesterday I decided to disconnect the main speakers from the HT deal and just use the tubes at last, primarily because I wanted to see how the new NAS drive + PC as source would do with better gear running the show.
Whoa!
After working out some network sharing bugs . It was such a major improvement I was stupefied by how long it had been since I had sat down to listen without listening in a critical way. Actually I was mystified by why I had gone so long without firing up my first string players!
Not only had I forgotten how much better the sound was that routinely had been my near only venue for music I was remarkably and pleasantly mesmerized by the sheer degree of improvement that came by way of purely HDD PC+ DAC sounds. Not to mention the convenient variety of music just a click away now.
and it was great fun too.
I had simply gotten used to watching TV & movies via the HT sys, and listening to tunes only sporadically thru it these past months.
The diffs were so astounding, it still amazes me how when my focus to other areas became entrenched, that I lost track of the feeling which came from hearing music in a pretty good system so often . And then to just quit doing it altogether! Wow.
Maybe I had even gone to the point of taking that rig for granted, and quit appreciating its capabilities, performance level and its impact on myself.
.
Wow. How I managed that I have no clue.
Play your rig often if you dont, you might forget just how good it really is and what it means to you in other areas, and try not to take it for granted.
. OR shelve it for six or eight months and then get amazed all over again.
