I love this hobby-

I was just sitting here tonight listening to music and was thinking how much music enriches my life. When I was young, music played an important factor in my life, although I never had what I would call a good system for playback. Once I got married and immediately began having a family, it seems music got thrown way on the back burner not to move back towards the front for many many years.

Now that the kids are grown (2 just need to be kicked from the nest) music is once again an important part of my life. No, my system is not SOTA, actually it is very vintage. But it brings me much joy and is best system I have ever owned. I am at a happy place though and don't feel the need to do more than just enjoy what I have been blessed with.

I don't have many music or audio loving friends, so I just wanted to share my joy with you all. I know from reading these pages that we all are passionate about these hard earned gifts, but ain't they grand? ;o)

We don't all have the same ears, identical or even similar gear and systems, nor enjoy the same music. But one thing I think we can all agree, life without music sucks.

Thanks for tolerating my rambling.

Good Grief!

What do we have here, a music lover? Ban him from this site! We must stay on topic of differences between CD players and various amps.

OK, I was kidding.

Seriously, I am glad your enjoying your re-introduction to music, perhaps the most important emotion except for love (and I’m not sure the two are not connected) :^).

If you're happy listening to music that's all that matters. Glad someone enjoys the music more than the gear.

Reminded of this quote from an ad in Stereophile:

"Music is what life wants to be".

I think WWWRecords is much more in tune with this hobby than most...music first!

Steve, excellent thoughts. I have always loved music as well, loved it when my father played Sam Cooke on his old console set up when I was a kid. I bought my first set up when I was 17 and graduated to better equipment when I got a good job. My first "high end" system was Yamaha based (when they were high end) and my current system brings me much joy. I'm looking forward to the arrival of the power plant I just bought and now I probably will have the best set up I ever will hope to.
I'm very fortunate to currently, and hopefully for much longer, to live in a place with no common walls and on kind of a quiet street. Most of listening right now is done from about 6am to 7am right after I get home from the gym and have breakfast and until I leave for work. It's not lots of time and I want to have much more time for this nsane game. I went too many years with sub par gear and I want to enjoy the great set up I have now. I understand totally. Mark
