Last night I put wify in listening chair, insisted her do not slide in the couch into her typical "monkey on a tree" pose and asked her to listen some sound. I put the slow opening of Merlitons dance from Nutcracker and played to her a few times,...

My Kitten left me for a week and I am enjoying a full scope of bachelor pleasures: sitting in comfy single chair while playing my music and smoking my pipe. I did not smoke in house for a year and a half and I need to admit that it is a devilish pres...

Glad to hear you had a great time and agree with the previous post, it is good to get a glimpse of Amy.Hope the trip home is uneventful.Take care,...

My best guess is she is standing about midway on a line from the conductor to the tympani....

JJ, do not even think that you can find Amy by investing 30
seconds of picture standing. It took for me 44 years to find her....

playing Bruckner with the Boston Phil. I trust you and she enjoyed it. Bruckner symphonies apart from the early Nulls and B1 are quite hard to play. It isn't because the individual parts are so hard for pros of course but because Bruckner was thinki...

The former subject of Bruckner and women got some new perspective recently. Amy and I met a few days before last year’s Valentine primary as two Bruckner mamzies. We did not develop the “sparkling chemical reaction” right the way since the day #1. I...

I need to admit that the unfolding now events around the hardwood floors do extend a rare opportunity for me to rethink the playback in my room. I do not have need or reasons to make any significant changes but there are many minor things, perhaps se...

Wow, the Definitive Audio is half hours away from London, this is good news. I did look at Google and it said 2.45 Hours but I might look some at something different. We probable will be staging near Royal Abler Hall, which is center city. We are ver...

It was very interesting. Amy and I were having a fancy dinner in the Cancun's resort. We were siting on a private balcony, with closed door and in the main floor of the restaurant live jazz band started to play. Amy was sitting back to them and did...

We kind of slowly were looking, and looking and looking and suddenly today we were blessed with news that Kitty’s parents let up to use their 7.6’ Yamaha C7. It is interment from 70s and Amy loves it as she learned as kid and then taught on this pian...

It was very interesting event last night. Amy and I were visiting Living Voice Company. We did some listening and Kevin, the company owner, who very devoted to chamber mystic, played his favorite selections of Beethoven quarters. Amy mostly did n...

I feel strange tonight. I woke up at 2.30AM to feed the diabolically-smiling baby and as Thomas went back to sleep I keep walking back and forth of the listening room for 2 hours, having quite bewildering feelings. As Amy the Kitten moved with me we ...

Amy the wife has that notion that I have to make violins. Being with me, listening my constant comments how different technical aspens of audio impacts expressive signatures of sound she developed a feeling that I could be a good violin maker. I do u...

Last night, leaving the MET HD re-broadcast, the Willy Decker’s production of La Traviata, (what a stunning performance of Natalie Dessay as Violetta!!!) I under impression of the performance asked Amy what she would do if she has 2 hours to live. Re...

The baby grand piano that Amy brought with herself in my life is kind of making me want to experiment with it. The piano is from Amy grandmother’s youth and it is probably from 30s. It is not bad piano, I have seen much worse, but it is not Steinway ...

Interesting, the last night I made a first attempt to teach Amy something about audio. We live together for 6 month and I never made any attempt to bring her aboard to audio world. She love my playback idea but and I love to cruise around her brain o...

There were had few days. First it was complete distraction of my listening room, than the contractors put the new hardwood floor together and then the complete rebuilding of the listening room, back to the sate it was before. Well sort of…

Amy turned out to be a fireplace kitten and she spends a lot of time in our opera room, cooking her feet on fire and filing the room with marvelous purring. We were planning to do major Opera Room remodeling this winter but the resent Hurricane Sandy...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Amy the Kitten is amazing. [/quote]Well, those two events had happened today for a first time. Today I for a first time committed adultery to my wife by sleeping not with her but with a box set of records. I just woke up hu...

Interesting. Almost unanimously the people at the forum and in private emails advice me do not inform/educate Amy about the audio. I do share the hesitance people expressed and I do appreciate the warnings. I kind of inclined do not do it, well; I d...

Romy, from the anicdotes peppering this forum, it sounds like you have "done your homework" prior to choosing someone to share your life with, and you have done this at a time when you, at least, have already acquired some life experience. No doubt ...

Amy and I were listening last night Bruckner 8, the last one recorded in 1988. It is fine performance but very much vandalized by DG technicians with truly horrible sound. Amy does not knowledge all those audio sonic aspects. For the 1.5 years that w...

I would side with zz: make no systematic efforts to educate Amy about the audio aspects of listening. Later, when (for example) hearing a particularly fine recording, she might become interested in what is different or why it is different from a "v...

Since I am living with the assumption that the technology you have used is far from dated I have cannot wait to hear what you have in mind for your audio future.Since my selfish nature longs to hear what you have acheived, assuming you would allow me...

Amy, brushing her hair, inadvertently touched the water faucet in the bathroom. Those pipes go directly into the basement......

As Koshka was gone I was filling that I can’t live without Cats. Yesterday, the December 31 Amy got home with two five-week old, gray, blue-eyes kitten. They are brother and sister and they become our family. We put them in the warm room, feed them,...
