If you lost your stereo system would you still ???


Would you still be enthralled by the music. Enjoy and listen to it. How much difference does a fine stereo make to you. Lets say you would have a $500 to listen to. Are you too concerned about the accuracy or would you still listen because you love the nusic. I think I would still listen but would always want more. I think that whats drives us. The audio bug. A $5000 system is not good enough. A $10,000 is not good enough and so on. But what would you do if the $500 system is all you will have to live with. Will you abandon your hobby? I know I would spend less time. Mike

If we improve the buget to $1500 for the crap gear, I could do it. In my car (Toyota Camry) I listen to music for hours and the sonics bear no ill influence. Full enjoyment. If I could only rig up a system at least that good it would be easy to concentrate on the music, but I would frequently long for another $2000 (minimum) to help out a little.
Thanks R,I was starting to lose control what with all those flashbacks going past at the speed of light.The lines in the road just look like dots.YMMV,cheers,Bob
I would take that crap system and set it up just like a high end rig and squeeze every drop of sound out of it.

Even a garbage system set up and tweeked can still image.

Try it at a friends house if they'll let you.
I have, (but they always push the speakers back against the walls after we're done)
It's all about the music for me. I can enjoy $100 speakers an $10,000 speakers. Just give me the right music!
Back in the 70's, I was driving in my car listening to the AM jazz station. The DJ said: "Okay, jazz fans, get your cassette recorders ready because I'm going to play something really special for you now."

The something special turned out to be a recording of the great classical guitarist John Williams playing Rodrigo's Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra.

It was so beautiful that I pulled my car over, took out a pad and pen, wrote the performance down and headed for the nearest record store.

This is what I bought, and its still one of my favorite recordings of classical guitar in the entire collection. Highly recommended:
