Post Subject: How would you handle it?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/16/2013

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 we together I did not make any efforts to educate her about the way how audio methods can ruin musicality, not to mention to interpret it. We have wonderful time to listen music together and the subject of audio quality is absolutely out of our ways. It is very interning to think with her about music. In fact I hid it superbly arousing. At the very first date I told her that her face and her manners remind me the opening bars Brahms Thirds, the thirds movement. I lived my life and dated plenty women but I never was able to experience as much pleasure and to see the woman understanding and appreciating of my compliment. I did in past tell to women that they are associated to me with different fragment of music and they were sitting and flipping with their brainless eyes indicating no cognitive activity. Last night she was playing her quartets and I went with her bring a bottle of wonderful Georgian wine with me. I ask her: “Kitty, what note this wine taste like?” She immediately replied: “B Flat”. What is brilliant and tasteful mind!

Anyhow, here is what I’m thinking. I have no problem to explain and to demonstrate to Amy the ways how audio very frequently ruins musicality. Last night I asked her if she would like me to do it. She responded very interesting: “I am not sure that I would like to learn it as I am afraid that it will start bothering me.”

So, my questing is to the guys who had found themselves in the similar satiation. Do you feel that it worth to educate our wife with the basics of audio listening or it make send to let it go. The smart people always ask: ”Do you want to be right or happy?”. From one perspective it does make sense to make her to understand the subject as… it is truth. However, she does not suffer from a need to know this “truth”. I am conflicting with it. It would be fun to have her as audio collaborator and she will be very fine but I fell that it is poorly subject of my egotism and why shall I diminish her listening enjoyment juts because I would like to have near me somebody who help me to detect juts by hearing that my driver tubes lost cathode emission?
So, folks, tell share you stories and objections on the subject, partially those who have been living with your moment/man for long time.

Rgs,
