If your down on your system…


If your down on your system, ask yourself, are you listening for the sound or for the music.  If the answer is for the sound, then try to do a mind bend, and forget the sound for a moment.  Take a deep breath and try to get into the music you’ve selected. After all, you’ve hopefully selected it for the music itself and not just for the sound.  That’s where the payoff is.
 I know this sounds simplistic and has been mentioned a lot in this forum, but it’s
a technique that works for me.

*S*  Like friend Mahgister, I'm down with the sounds of these objects I've amassed for that purpose...

Some may think "What? With THAT?!", and lapse into snide giggles.
HO, I'm a fan of 'run what you brung' and Enjoy....the point of it all, after all.

One can nuance and knit the means to accomplish their personal 'chase' to taste, budget, neighbors, or ones' individual sanity levels....

Or just turn it down from 11, and chill.  Or not. ;)
I remember when my rig wasn't playing nice. I was always listening for what wasn't there and it was fatiguing. I eventually got it right and it's been a joy ever since. Every record sounds wonderful. As it's in the basement, I'm down with my system.
