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?

To me, "Alone Again, Naturally" and Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" are two very sad songs with the latter being one of the saddest I've heard.

I have several Lp's of hers that are good Coffee house music but not that album....kinda thankfully!

Understandable. I agree about the Coffee house angle.

A movie that explores similar themes is "Dear Frankie" directed by a woman ( no surprise there ) - again a tear jerker. Some men can't help responding to the damsel in distress. Others like to abuse them. Strange world.

was this person familiar with a sound of a hi-end audio system? or was it a revelation?

Sort of familiar with Best Buy mid-fi, but never heard anything like mine.

Are you able to disclose the exact track?

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

It was about halfway through side one of the mfsl TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION... "ever more..."

Now, if he would have cried listening to Bork, that would have meant something.

Or realizing that his wife will never let him have it.
That would explain the next visit.
Is it a pull-out sofa?:)
