When I was 14, I had a Sansui 5000A receiver, a Dual turntable with a Shure cartridge, a pair of Sansui speakers with wood and cloth grills, all strung together with zip cord. I listened to it for years on end and was in hog heaven.
Now I have Bryston 7B-ST's, a Rogue 99, Revel F50's, Meridian 508-24, and very pricey wires. I had a Well-Tempered table and Goldring cartridge but sold it and am now shopping for a new vinyl rig. Oh yeah, and a power pillow and aftermarket power cords. And I's still chasing the ghost of my teenage rig in terms of sheer pleasure. Of course, back then I had no job, no wife and kids, and I was liking the wacky tabacky too.
Musicality is, like so many things, all wrapped up in context.
An unexamined life may not be worth living, but an examined one is not all it's cracked up to be, either.
