The Forest for the Trees

Millercarbon, I read a post on here today from yesterday I believe, that had you describing your experience listening to Run Like Hell. It’s those experiences that make this hobby worth it.

For sure. Totally. One night I put on Jennifer Warnes The Well, only its the 45 not the 33. The 45 has extra songs which sometimes come at the end but on The Well they mixed them in only I wasn't paying attention didn't notice and so La Luna Brilla was a total surprise. I'm one of these guys who hardly ever likes a song the first time he hears it. Could probably count on my fingers the times that's happened. Skateaway, Devil Inside, Bird on a Wire, The Well, not a lot more. La Luna Brilla isn't even in English. Donde estas, estrallita? She sings. Where are you, my little star? I had to look it up. The words, I mean. The emotion, the beauty that summons the tears, that never did need any translation. 

I just realized that is three Jennifer Warnes songs on my very short list of songs I fell in love with on one listen.

Sure it’s about the music, but it’s also trying to get the best sound while you listen to music. It’s nice when you get a new component or do some tuning/tweaking and then you start hearing something in the recording that you never hear before. If it wasn’t to get the best sound for your budget, then get an iPhone and a pair of AirPods if you just want to listen to 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
