Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?

@roxy54    Not really.  Perhaps regrettably I speak the truth on this.  It is others who persistently refresh the erroneous notion that the sound we perceive is the same as that which leaves the speakers.  As I say elsewhere here recently, hearing and, more importantly, listening are not purely mechanical functionalities, inconveniently for those who would like things straightforward the brain lies in between the ears and the perception of the sound.

Understand completely!

How that was rationalized is a tale to be told...;)

I record The Science Channel’s How the Univierse Works on my DVR and turn it on when I can’t sleep. I usually make it about 7 1/2 minutes in before falling asleep. Works everytime. More powerful than Hf-fi anticipation -- or, regret.

Got married 1967, age 19, had a kid at 20, not exactly a adult wedding decision

this was the 60's man, LPs cheap, new music all the time, and I worked/listened all night all the frigging time because I thought Pratt Institute had made a mistake admitting me. That school was as hard as you made it, and I made it HARD.

Alison Steele (nightbird); Cousin Brucie, 'Palisades Amusement Park; 'Nobody Walks, Money Talks at Denison Clothes' still bouncing around my brain.
