Yep, that is the destination. Took me 45 years of research and investment… but I am there also. I get lost in the music.
Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music
Beautiful sound stage on my system. After just a few moments of listening I feel myself “transported” into the music and can “walk” among the voices, instruments, etc regardless of what I am listening to, aside from mono tracks. Front, back, side to side. A bit daydreamy. Love the sensation. No weed or alcohol involved! Am I completely nuts or do others get this feeling?

No. When it's really good, I feel like the music is transported into me. When I heard Ry Cooder play his little guitar solo in John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset" live with Little Village, time ceased to exist. I had a cosmic out-of-body experience, as high as I've ever gotten from music. The same happened when I heard J.S. Bach's Concerto for Four Harpsichords (BWV 1065) performed by Trevor Pinnock conducting The English Concert (whilst playing harpsichord!). |
I’m not a big fan of Bach Harpsichord Concertos for more than 2 Harpsichords. It is too difficult to distinguish the keyboards. That same work exists in arrangements for multiple instruments and I find that much more satisfying. I get “lost” in the music listening to DSD recordings of Chamber Music, which is the only time that I have really felt that the musicians may actually be live in front of me. Otherwise I am always conscious that as good as recording gets, it isn’t equal to the experience of live acoustic musicians performing in a real space |
Well I guess I don’t feel as bad having read this, trying 45 years for me too - this year. Only in the past 1-2 years have I been able to truly start to hear 3D vuloptious (sound coming from the sides, and slightly from the rear) with a 2-channel mono block - all tube system. Gotta be fully warmed up of course. My other Class-A 50w SS amp setup comes kinda close, but not the same as tweaked up tube pre/monoblock amps imo. However, getting there without going overboard on spend has been my series of hurdles. Was not sure if it was even possible. Probably reached a peak of the best I’ll do. Its been a fun adventure. Recently started getting back to being "lost in the music". A good place to be at this juncture of life. |
