LoFi


My sound system is down for repairs (I don’t know for how long). I’m now reduced to listening to music on Alexa’s transmission of WQXR, New York’s classical music station, in LoFi. Surprisingly, I’m getting into the music more easily. Without the distraction of sonic values, I’m able to totally concentrate on the music itself. I don’t need Hifi and soundstaging to “get” the musical message. it brings me back to my youth when I listened on a table radio and first fell in love with music. I find that I now can follow a piece of music from beginning to end more easily.

Not that I’m ready to give up the hobby. Just an interesting observation.

Not surprised. Low expectations means you can't be disappointed.

It's like when a favourite song comes on your car radio. All you do is enjoy the moment.

Low expectations means you can't be disappointed.

Words to live by.

@rvpiano I am away from home for a spell and my system is now a pair of Tribit Flowboxes bluetoothed from my laptop. I love the way I can move them around the room effortlessly (because they are battery powered) to try alternative speaker placement.

 

Precisely why I often find myself jealous of those who do not share our addiction.
