After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.

@kota1 … once you reach a point… because changes might actually degrade the enjoyment.”

Yes, for the last couple years I have been methodically adjusting and tweaking positioning, wires, and room acoustics and zeroing in on, what for me is the best sound. The improvement has been unreal. While I have done the same sequence and tweaking on previous systems, in the past changes were frequently punctuated by business trips and vacations. Being retired the cause and effects are much more easily detected in continuous long listening sessions.

Probably the greatest thing for me over the last few years was bringing my streaming up to the level of my vinyl system. My content went basically to infinity as I have have more time to listen… so for any group I used to like I can explore all the most of the albums I had not bought. Also, when I feel like it I can pull out an album and enjoy the tradition I performed since a little kid.

@skyscraper …”As a fellow 70 year old, my only concern is that youngsters like Baylinor and Henry58 feel entitled to chime in here at their tender age. Grow up you two.”  Yes, those young whippersnappers!

Thank you for your kind words.
 

Now where did I put the Advil 😊.

Bozak, now that is a word I have not heard in decades. Yes, I have memories like that. It is really cool that a pursuit like this that can last a lifetime and never cease to be fresh and rewarding. 
 

My father past away a long time ago, but I remember listening to Glen Miller from these two large vinyl compilations when around 10 years old. I found these used a couple decades ago and are in my collection.

@havocman

You must be one of those young whipper snappers… square wire! What will they think of next? Dag nab it, I am going to use wire as God intended it, round… like the Earth.

@ghdprentice  As usual, you provide an insightfull prespective and a positive view of all things Audio... for that, I Thank You.
