How do you listen?


Forgive me for having the impression that proper audiophilism involves assuming a comfortable sited position at the triangular apex of two fixed points with a meditative smile as aural sweetness is mindfully digested. My problem is I am a modern multi tasking spastic and cannot sit still without reading, watching silent football games, yelling at my kid, etc.etc. Is there a trick to achieving the serene stillness that I think many of you were divinely gifted?

Listen carefully. This is no joke. There is nothing you can do to attain serenity.

Look within.  

Serene stillness by the way, you can never calm water by trying to smooth it out. Relax. Water smoothes itself out.

Yes I am that good.


I use my 2nd system in basement, almost as good.
I ignore the wife yelling my name, the floorboards what sounds like a 400 pound guy stomping upstairs.

Few more notches on the volume, use backstairs to garage fridge for a refill, repeat.

Ignore it.
until the boss slams downstairs..”didn’t you hear me!!!?”

Calmly say, I’m sorry hun, I didn’t.

Truth.
I thought everyone here sat to attention in the sweet spot—the only exercise all evening getting up to change the record.
