Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

This is a very interesting thread.

Many times, while driving around I listen to classical or jazz fm stations.  Occasionally, I stumble upon some performance so beautiful that it pulls me in and I find myself completely paralyzed and unable to get out of my car and continue with my intended tasks (shopping, work, etc).  This has no just happened once, but quite a few times.  In fact I completely refuse to turn the radio off in the car until I reach level of complete satisfaction at the end of such performance.

I have always wandered why, with modest stock audio system in a car, one can find this meaning of music much more easily than on thousands of "hi-end" or "hi-fi" systems.  Once I had a chance to hear the famous top of the line Magnum Dynalab tuner.  To me, in that system and at that moment, it was nothing special.  Sweet hi-fi sound is what came to mind.  No comparison to what I experienced in the car.

Can anybody explain what is happening in my car?
