It happened again tonight


Playing Pink Floyd The Wall Side 4, nice and loud. Kind of loud live would be if they would keep it just short of harmful. Kind of loud you feel it. Run Like Hell comes and the lead guitar riffs are just exhilarating and have me going and then the beat picks up and I catch myself hyperventilating again. Its just so crazy clear and present and you are there, all I can say is Thank you, Krissy. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so very much.

So the implication here is that the only reason @millercarbon had an exhilarating musical experience, nearly sending him into hyperventilation and perhaps on the verge of anaphylaxis was due SOLELY to the products provided by Krissy. Nothing else in the system? "Everything matters" is no longer the case in an an audio system - this intense feeling can only be brought on by a tweak or series of tweaks. That is clearly what is implied here. If in fact everything does matter in audio (which I would agree with completely - including tweaks) then it was completely arbitrary to attribute this over the top joy to any single vendor or component.
^^^ Well, allow me to interject a little more joy here.

I had a tube of PPT Total Contact left and was wondering what to do with it. So, I spent the morning taking my little Audioengine A2+ speakers apart and pasting the entire interior. Anything I could reach got pasted. The result? I have total confidence that I now have the best sounding Audioengine A2+ speakers on the entire planet. Here’s the kicker ... all of us who have used this now-discontinued product knows that there is a definite break-in period over an eight-week period. If the initial results are this good, what will it be like when the eight-week jump takes place? Two little desk-top speakers, a PC, and Spotify can sound like THIS??? Wow ... just wow!

Correction, Millercarbon did not say he had an exhilarating moment, he had a "hyperventilating" moment. I think what he needs to know is that most of us here, but not all, are men. What possibly would make him think we personally give a sh*t if he is hyperventilating?  Maybe things are different in the Northeast?

One more time for the reading challenged:
Run Like Hell comes and the lead guitar riffs are just exhilarating and have me going and then the beat picks up and I catch myself hyperventilating again.

Here I was thinking that being on an audiophile oriented site people might be familiar with The Wall and know Run Like Hell  features a guy actually running and you hear his breathing and maybe even might get that your music could be so good you could get so caught up in it you catch yourself breathing along with guy in the song. But no. Not here. Don't know audio. Don't know music. Don't know nothing just love to knock em all.

Oh well. They have no idea, do they, Frank? No idea at all. 
Yes!

My 1979  1A(1st press variant? whatever that is)Pittman copy has been played on a few serious setups. $50K+ super rigs.

Really a workout, besides great music. On my setup ($5K?),I can hear most of what can be squeezed out from  this great album.

Good sounding album for a late 70's disc.

At minimum, anything close to a "proper" system has to handle the bass/percussion convincingly. This album is unquestionably a demo record.

Great album.
