What are you streaming tonight?

I love it when my hifi allows me to hear "foibles" in recordings. I love them all, except perhaps the occasional ones that make your ears bleed no matter what.

Much better than hearing the "foibles" in your hifi 24X7.

Being able to hear most everything in a recording is a big part of teh joy my hifi brings me. Good or bad. It’s very interesting to me to be able to hear all that went into a particular produced product. Or even just to hear what that production sounds like in my room. So many ways to extract pleasure out of recordings no matter what.

Pure joy for me is listening to a live jazz recording from the 1950s or 60s and picking up conversations in the background.  Never heard that on the LPs with my system. 

Funny you should say that.
I have a Hot Tuna live recording in a bar type venue.
At about the 3rd track someone drops a glass and it sounds like it is breaking right behind my right shoulder.
Never noticed that years ago.
Or maybe that is all it was, that I just never noticed as maybe was not tuned in to it as much as I am now.
We will never know.
