Very dense Nandric, I am lost and I consider myself fairly educated in philosophy and science, but entertaining and introspecting regardless (your topic, I respect that)
Something that music does is to put us on an elevated state of mind sometimes, we reflect about past present and future and we get an"apparent" clarity about the universe as a unison (English is my second language) Spanish is first. Italian and Portuguese won't count as additional.
Leaving Dubrovnik tomorrow, yesterday was at Neum, Hvar and Split along the way, what a wonderful country. Went to some place and the person didn't speak English well, I don't (obviously) speak Croatian, she said Italian? And I followed, there was no communication barrier from then on, I know they were cruel with their empire (the Old Romans), but what a wonderful thing a Cuban can communicate with a Croat in a language which is not native to either.
Going back to your original post, the aforementioned individuals haven't participated yet, but I agree, we learn from everyone here (Good and bad stuff), personally I learned quite a few things from Raul and Chak, good things, from others I learned bad stuff which allows me to avoid some situations which is a good thing, so philosophically, everything I learn even the bad it ends up been good.
Going back tomorrow to my "new" system, refurbished GFA 545 SS amp, nothing that would interest anyone on audiogon or be considered spectacular, yet I love the synergy with my old speakers.
Thanks Nandric
