SQ vs. Music

I never listen to what is commonly called music. This is all noise to me.
I always listen for the sound, that's where true music is.

100% music

I wonder why in some strech of the imagination the great Maestro Ernest Ansermet, also a mathematician, wrote a 1,200 pages book demonstrating that music is ANYTHING in consciousness except only sound...

I wonder why Celibidache another great maestro was attentive to silence first and sound in second...

Myself i will bet that music and silence are there when we listen to an audio system IN SPITE OF the sound, good or bad...

Ninety Percent of the time I listen for the music. I only get hung up on sound quality if the quality is truly outstanding or pushes my buttons the wrong way. Tizzy violin sections and buzzy male vocals do drive me nuts. As does boomy or excessive bass.

Without music your mega-buck gear is as useless as a dead vacuum cleaner! About the best analogy I could think of at the moment!
