Sound quality vs. Mood

I can see it now. A new catagory of tweaks will be added to the online catalogs of Audiogon's Showcase Dealers....

Mood altering electronics like those Sharper Image has been famous for...

And, holistic/herbal listening supplements...

Has anyone seen that Shakti Stone I was using? I need to place it on my head for my next listening session.

Gunbie,

Nicely done.

I was thinking of marketing oral audio enhancer that would consist of Wild Turkey or Jack Daniels.

Even mid fi sounds good.

Nice post Ohteeel. Several years ago I learned a relaxation technique via professional bio-feedback training. I agree, having some semblance of control over your mood(s) during or prior to listening sessions can have a powerful influence on listening enjoyment. Of course this kind of thing lends itself to pooh-poohing and even ridicule, but then believing in anything more than zip cord speaker cables does too. Cheers. Craig

Gunbei, I believe that the herbal mood exhancing suppliment has been used for MANY years by musicians and knowledgeable audiophiles alike! Happy Tunes!

I have often found that Oscar Peterson never sounds better on my system than when there are wafts of garlic and basil coming from the kitchen and my girlfriend and I have a lingering buzz from the bottle of shiraz we are drinking.
