What Is Most Important?


What do you consider to be the most important element in your ultimate enjoyment of hifi reproduced music?

That element for me is listening to songs that I’ve heard hundreds of times and hearing them for the first time. It doesn’t happen in every song, but there are some that make me take notice. Whoa wait a minute moments. I knew there were back up singers but not there and there and there! Wait what moments. That guitar riff has always been great, but I never heard that other guitar far off in the back responding to the first. Those hair standing moments when a female vocalists is singing soulfully and in the black background you can hear her lips part to form a word. Yeah, this hobby can be tedious at times, but it’s those moments that make it special.

Enjoying wtf you have.
Occasionally I fall into that state of mind where I’m more focused on what needs improvement or what doesn’t sound right than just enjoying what I have.

As previously stated by others - as I’ve gotten older I’ve stopped trying to chase the next component for more detail, imaging…….  The system I have is matched well and is musical.   At 56 I can now say good enough and focus more so on the music itself.

...having rolled enough blunts over time, a bowl (or X) keeps the ennui away... ;)

Rather roll on with the sounds....*G*
