Is this when you have "arrived??"

Just had a guest leave my house after a quick early morning listening session.
Only 4 album sides, the last of them being Tales of Mystery and Imagination Alan Parsons.
Towards the end of the first part, he was making the couch shake. I looked over.

He was crying. (Not because his ears hurt)

He was ashamed. This is the second time this has happened to me, but the first time without "enhancements" being involved.

Have I arrived at true high end?

If your system can help you to learn to appreciate music passionately like this then you have not arrived at all.

Your journey has just begun...

Gumby: Was this a result of playing the original or remastered "special edition" CD?

If it was the remastered one, is the 2-disc set worth the price of admission?

I've never heard this recording? Tell us more about it.

thanks,

It sounds to me like your friend has deep personal issues that should be addressed outside of this forum. You may have arrived "at true high end" but based on what's written above, I wouldn’t based that decision on the reaction of your friend

Maybe your guest has some personal/family issues.

IMO, it's a leap to think his reaction is solely based on a stereo system, no matter how excellent it may be.
