What do you want from the hobby?

There is a "wonderful" article about a listening experience at "Oswald's Mill",that is beautifully written by Michael Lavorgna!
This can be found on the "Six Moons web-site",under "industry news"(see the latest dated addition of the "mill" sessions).....I LOVED it!!I,also "think" I "got it"!!
The writer REALLY touches upon "something" in his wrap-up of his unique experience,and it almost made me cry(just kidding,but it was quite touching,regarding our wonderful hobby).
Now I am even more aware of the "why" of being so smitten with my "own" take on what I like in my system,as well as why I "SO" enjoy a different,but serious spin from some other interesting yet unique hobbyists' approaches.

I mention this on the analog forum because I know so many folks are "inspired" hobbyists,but mostly I have corresponded with many of you,and just "think" you might enjoy the "theme" of the fine article!

Great read!...On the money postscript!!

Best.

That article is worth it just for the pictures. His comments on forum posting ring a bell. Looking at threads, so many arguments start with, " Your system and opinions are c..p". They fall into the area of simple bad manners. Apart from the laws of physics, mechanics, electronics, there are few right or wrong answers, just opinions, more or less well informed. The only remaining point is, how do you get an invitation to the mill, next year?

I think we all can have similar experiences,if we have a nice group of audio pals,owning different equipment.AND having real enthusiasm for both music,and fine equipment.

I am lucky here,and when we do get together there is always great music/wine/food/friendship.Not to mention the more than occassional carnivorous catfight,surrounding each of our "own" takes on set-up taste!....This can get quite distressful but we always end on a friendly note.

My opinion is.... I'd LOVE to put a little "bug" in the car of "those" who drove everyone to a specific listening session."Then" I'd "really" be able to get the scoop on how each listener liked/or not a specific system....Most can seem polite at first,but the "real story" comes out in the wash,later-on!To the usual chagrin,and sometimes pocket book of the hosting person.-:)
