A thread from 2002..?? You were obviously bored...
Love for music shatter by highend equipment
Music is life, I rather be blind then deaf. It's pretty sad when I realize that my love for music was shatter by high-end equipment. I have friends that refuse to listen to music because it’s not coming from a high-end system. It’s ridiculous that throw away CDs because the record is not to their standard and they won't listen to it. As a result they listen to only a few CD over and over..and over..... They don't listen to the radio. They don't listen to the stereo in their car. What is going on, could it be the mind playing tricks. After all we are spending $50,000 on a system, and it could make us forget that, "Its all about listening to the music". I have to admit, this high end world is an enigma..

I know this may sound silly, but some equipment and manufacturers tend to promote audiophilia more than others. Not silly at all. The ones that do largely also face the task of generating interest in more expensive and/or esoteric products. They need music mainly because their products won’t make any sound people want to hear without it. Their stuff is marketed as the special sauce that makes things extra special and sometimes it just might. But most music lovers don’t need the most expensive and or esoteric products to enjoy their music 100%. Its all just another part of what makes our sometimes crazy and often disjointed world go round. |
Lots of us used to drink Boones Farm wine back in the good old days. Nobody ever complained that it didn't taste very good or that it wasn't enjoyable.Lord have mercy. Boone's Farm is the wine world's equivalent of a rusty mattress spring under electronics. Good old days....meaning what? Under the bridge in brown paper bags? |
Stereophile just posted an article I felt matches a lot of my experience with "audiophiles" vs. music lovers in the 1994 review of the Proac 1S The author's wife is kind of me. :) Not that I would ever marry a reviewer. |
