Why Don't More People Love Audio?

A splendid analysis, Wehamilton. How come you know me so well?!!

Limabean, my hat's off to you and your shipmates. Installing an audiophile system onboard a nuke is a 5.0 degree of difficulty- talk about tricky room acoustics! Hell, my hat's off to you guys everyday, anyway just for being there. At least now you have some good tunes to help with the tedium. I'm listening to Miles Davis right now and dedicating it to you and your shipmates. Hey, do you think the Russian submariners can hear your system too? They're probably happy to have some decent music for a change!

Detlof, from senior year in high school to senior year in college I had four completely different stereo systems even though I was a dirt poor student. That should have been a sign to my parents or someone, but it went undiagnosed (psychology wasn't as advanced back then). As a result I continue to suffer with no hope for a cure! Glad to know there are fellow travelers at least. Just think by the time we finally get our systems right our hearing will be shot. I sure hope the old folks home doesn't have a Bose system! Best regards to all.

Wehamilton, I was (self)diagnosed, but that did not help either. My system is more or less right now, but my ears are failing. So there you are...but I am still at it of course, thinking of tweaking hearing aids and how to find the sweat spot in my ears for them. Regards,

Wehamilton, thanks for the Miles Davis dedication. His "Kind of Blue" album is one of my favs!

For @ least the following reasons:
1. Very few people know how to listen to music.
2. Very few people will take the time to listen.
3. Very few people discuss music just as music.
4. There's little status in it.
5. Music has been, for the most part, reduced to furniture status and taken for granted.
