Musico-audio experience

I'm perfectly fine listening to someone else's music system at either a commercial establishment or another person's house, as long as the bass isn't too thuddy and the volume isn't too high. It's only with my stereo that I'm driven nuts if things aren't as good as I think they ought to be.

I think I understand your point. I think many of us loved music when young and were drawn to hear it better, This would kick in our analytical skills and we would start listening to the system instead of the music.

But really enjoying an audio system is about listening to music. I turned from technically detailed systems with great slam fifteen or twenty years ago and worked towards the musical system I own today that simply draws me into the music… every day for hours. I don’t think or care about slam, or micro details… but am emotionally drawn into the beauty of the music. Audio-nirvana.

I think, considering your considerable expenditure, that you too are invested in the sound as much as the music.  It’s the combination that fosters your “audio nirvana.”
