As a matter of fact, yes.
Despite my proselytizing about how one should put the music first, that’s exactly what I was not doing. With the big expenditure and being preoccupied in the world of stereo I was trapped in an obsession of sound production forgetting the primary love of my life, music. I was seduced by the glorious noises my set often produced.
This passion for sound has long made me forget which side is up. The insidious preoccupation blinded me to the truth. Of course there were times when the music slipped through, but they were too far and few between.
I guess I got an inkling of what was going on when I listened to that car radio and was thoroughly entranced by the pieces being played. I also have to thank this forum for helping me to see my hypocrisy.
I’m now enjoying music more than in a long time, and am more selective in my choices, making them not for sound, but for musical pleasure.
