Getting into the music

I'm playing the back nine at this point in my life and of coarse my upper frequency are rolling off with my hearing So I went with a different approach with my stereo rig  My main speakers have built in powered subs and I also have two SVS Ultra 13subs with the upgraded plate amps  I mostly stream Qobuz and everything is dialed in from my listening chair. The subs are either side of my Tower speakers So I'm having close to a bass array  Anyway when I listen to my music now being so full range and dynamic, I can't get the smile off my face!

I feel and think I've hit my personal 'ceiling' (prior to an all-out 'face plant' *L*) on audio accouterments beyond my diy driver diddling.....*waves white flag with odd glyph*....

I can listen to nearly anything I care to and enjoy how it's being rendered by the choice of what I have to render it.

I've established a personal 'baseline' of the means to do so in the equipment at hand; the cables, the ic's, the various 'n sundry....

Not SOTA, by any means, but 'SORTA'....i.e., enough.

I could and can mess with room acoustics, the eq, the occasional swap of one item for another when the muse rises from coma and demands a trigger-pull on X to replace Z....and leaving Y untouched...(pun intended)....

Case in pointless...

If I can listen to 417hz monk 'ohms', segue into The Prodigy live in Moscow, chill with some AON for awhile.....and sleep soundly and soundless.....(I don't dream much, and they're usually sans soundtrack anyway....)

I'm good.*S*

I'll just kibitz at the clan....

Spouse and self are looking forward to an entire Thanksgiving week to ourselves; the employs asked to have the entire following week off...on their own dime, except for the normal holidaze pay....

Y'all enjoy yours as well...'ciao, J

1. Diversify Your Listening: Explore a wide range of genres, artists, and musical styles. This can help break the pattern of focusing solely on sonic qualities and allow you to appreciate the diversity of musical expression.

2. Live Performances: Attend live performances or listen to live recordings. The immediacy and authenticity of a live experience can often bring back the emotional connection to the music.

3. Purposeful Listening: Set aside dedicated time for critical listening where your primary focus is on the musical content rather than the audio quality. Choose recordings that are known for their artistic merit rather than just their sonic qualities.

4. Balanced Approach: Strike a balance between enjoying high-quality audio reproduction and appreciating the intrinsic value of the music. It's possible to have both a great sound system and a deep appreciation for the artistic message of the music.

5. Mindfulness: Be mindful of your listening habits. If you catch yourself solely focusing on the audio nuances, consciously redirect your attention to the musical elements and emotional content.
