Is it time to just quit?

elizabeth,

Please don’t quit.  I very much enjoy and appreciate your knowledge and incites.

pack it all away and get an Alexa and just listen to music instead of a stereo system.  Simple pleasures.

Was “incites” a Freudian slip or intentional?  One of the things that I have always enjoyed about Elizabeth’s posts is the way that some other posters seem to be incited by them and respond with spirited comebacks.

@syntax this is a great analogy!  

I think that what we all need every now and then is a new music-loving friend.  My GF (over 3 years now) was always into music, but didn't know what a nice stereo can sound like.  It's been really fun helping her understand the nuances that the system brings to light, and in this case, her helping me discover new music.

Together, we now discover new music all the time, and at least once per week, we sit and listen to music.  We talk about the artists, read the covers, check out the band on "the google", and learn.  It's really amazing to see how they fit together... like how often certain artists are found on other bands' albums.

It's really fun discovering the new music, and appreciating how great music can sound in the right environment, with the right equipment, with a tasty beverage... and of course the right person who can enjoy it with you!

I've also met a few audiophile friends in the area, and I'm learning to appreciate other people's systems as well.  It's an interesting way to enjoy and sample the gear without necessarily buying something.
