So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music?
Form me it is about the music but I like having nice gear to hear it with.
@sns Thanks for relaying those memories. I based my college entrance essay on the book. It had a big influence on me in high school. These kinds of debates -- gear OR music -- are indicative of a way of thinking that just perpetuates false choices. The question I’m curious about is what does it say about where we (collectively) are that we repeat the same false choice, over and over again? |
Music. Gear is merely the means to that end....and ought to be, always. What one spends and adapts ones' environs in the pursuit of the goal is the prerogative of the listener(s). 'Low-ball', 'Hi-end', and all that exists in the midst is valid even if only to the owner of same. 'Owner' is happy until not, for whatever reason or rationale.... The 'ladder' doesn't seem to lack rungs to ascend, so one can climb until the efforts tires, the view is sufficient, the means of pursuit wane, or one is deaf and/or deceased.... There Are others....pick one, or make it up. I have, and you ought to have one just in case. *L* ;) I tire of being a 'bot....maybe I should be the mayor.....*evil G* |
Great gear won't fix crappy music, but you can listen to great music on crappy gear and it's still great music. If one thinks the gear has any importance other than relaying the music to your earballs, I can only assume you can sit and fondle your fuses and lovingly gaze at a dead sound system which without music is a pile of paperweights. Music is what matters, period. |
