Is this sign of getting old?

When i was a teenager, i didn’t like Brel, Aznavour, Becaud,...20 years later,i had all the cd’s of them. You grow up,and the meaning of live, changes. You become a music lover, first a “hifi”, after a “high-end”: you discover more the beauty of music :that’s the best thing about music. You enjoy more ! Music is my live, can not live without: it make friends, it’s an expression of what you are. A large part of your personality is in it. It’s a communication with people all over the world !!Enjoy your music and be happy.!! Lukaske

Yes! OLD.

You better plan a trip to Graceland before your time runs out. I thought I would hate it, but I really enjoyed touring Sun Studios and Graceland. And the Duck Walk at the Peabody. Inadvertently met Sam Phillips on the plane ride home. Fascinating person in a then emerging era.

I think our tastes expand (rather than change) as we get more opportunity, more assets, and more time, and our systems become more revealing. 

I truly appreciate what a wonderful voice Elvis had, and Sinatra, and Joan Sutherland, and own a decent amount of recordings of them, including reel to reel, but listen to them very infrequently. An appreciation, magnified by our high quality systems and our acquired ability to listen critically. That can be a joy and a curse as we hear everything wrong as well.

btw, that link is the worst quality Elvis I ever heard.

I just bought two used LP's, Michelle Shocked (has two of my favorite songs, and many new to me), and Melanie, Double LP at Carnegie Hall. I try to decide before buying, will I listen to this more than once? Melanie, certainly, I highly recommend it! It is full of great songs I never heard, performed when at her peak, and a defining moment, 1973. she calls a lull, after flower power, give peace a chance, my generation's idealism faded.

I digress.

When I flip thru my music collection, I am also influenced by whether it is a superior recording, superior musicians playing with the primary artist, i.e. quality, revealed by my system influences my choices beyond favoritism.

Skhong audiophile don’t get old, we stay younger, liking Elvis and Rocks is a good thing, you have now a very good system, and nice train ears, stay young ENjoy....😀

As you get old your system try’s, with no avail, to fend off death by going back to your youth in any manner possible .It’s more a sign of the path we all have to walk down .You can whistle pass the graveyard like above post but its all foolish .
