Is this when you have "arrived??"


Just had a guest leave my house after a quick early morning listening session.
Only 4 album sides, the last of them being Tales of Mystery and Imagination Alan Parsons.
Towards the end of the first part, he was making the couch shake. I looked over.

He was crying. (Not because his ears hurt)

He was ashamed. This is the second time this has happened to me, but the first time without "enhancements" being involved.

Have I arrived at true high end?

I almost cried when my daughter wanted to bake her cookies in my brand new DVD player. DVD survived that assault only because the cookie could not fit in the "oven."
My wife thought it was a tear of joy and comely laid her head on my shoulder while I almost fainted from blood pressure.

Reminds me of the (joke) story of the family that refused to buy "sexist" toys for their two small children.

They purchased a hammer for the little girl and a male doll for the boy.

Later that evening they checked on the children to see how they were adjusting to their toys.

The boy had completely disassembled the doll, and the girl had put the hammer to bed, just it's head sticking from out from the covers.
Good one Albert. It's a nice story Gumbydammit! Whatever happened to the other "green man" around this place?
was this person familiar with a sound of a hi-end audio system? or was it a revelation?
Are you able to disclose the exact track?

I would like to try and recreate this experience at home, with myself, friends and family.
