Losing Touch


You know sometimes I feel that I have lost touch with why I have been into audio/music since the 70's. I have been sitting at my computer this morning doing a bunch of nothing when I opened up Tidal and started cruising the "Masters" listings. I have The Cars "Candy-O" playing right now through my Audioengine 5+ and sub. Damn what fun. Do I have it playing too loud? Yup. The MUSIC is wonderful. The quality is great. Isn't this what it is all about? Getting into it fully. "Candy-O I need you so." Had to share. Have a good listen.

Forgot to mention that my recent "enlightenment" of the beauties of analog cassettes happened upon my stambling  onto Stereo 2 Go forum. 
Can only speak for myself and observations of others over time. I enjoy putting mixers/playlists together and sharing with friends and family. There's some excellent music being recorded from Christian artists and I feel the heartfelt dedication coming through the recordings. I often mix secular music with the sacred (?) in that there are artists who have no profession of faith, but seem to be totally honest in there interpretation of life experiences. In fact, sometimes that honesty can be intensely moving and provides a path of Christian validation that could not be experienced by faith based artists alone. The tools of the audiophile are unique in that it provides a window to more clearly appreciate the artist's message. Having said that, though, I do agree that sometimes its rewarding to hear (especially) older music through a boom-box, public places or wherever.

Bingo!

So, do you think our Christian brothers took a look at the cover of the record on my original post? I'm just saying. Look, all I was posting about was enjoying the music without having gear anxiety. Do so. I don't care what you listen to.   
gareneau, I'm mostly a mau5 fan.  Not everything he's done, but I'm not a fan of Everything Anyone's Done. *L*  Since the advent of streamcasting and music servers like Spotify I can avoid buying a CD with only one or two selections that boat my float.  *G*
My mau5 picks are Arguru, Maths, and Prof. Griefers.  Play loud, obviously.  Knocks the dust off the woofers. ;)
Another good test for the woofs: What is This Love by Blue Rodeo.  The first 1:05 can rattle the walls if you want to see if the nails holding the pictures on them are firm. ;)
My playlist is 'eclectic', all over the board...*G*
