In the Thread: World's Finest Sounding Audio Room
Post Subject: ha! ive got you beat hands down.Posted by malinowski on: 8/22/2007
guitar in my lap. cost me 150 bucks, never plays the same thing twice... and talk about ACCURACY ( the sound, not the playing).
about the only thing better than that was when the LA philharmoic used to have free tickets on sundays.. (do they still do this?)
or sitting on the perimeter of the hollywood bowl..1987.. 17 smoking pot and getting "service" from your girlfriend during some absurdly unsubtle rendition of something Elgar... "erotic analogue" Ha!
or living in a predominantly lutheran city and doing your homework in the balconies of a church for hours listening to organ recitals nobody ever attended.
point being.. as neat as the quest for "perfect audio" is.... it seems kind of laughable when you think about where you can find great live experinces with sound, and for what amounts to pennies relatively.
vin scully on AM radio right now... i wouldn't trade it for all the "silver cables" in the world.
I'm couldn't be more content than right now.. and that perspective only improves the enjoyment factor I have in listening to whatever I am able to afford or manage at the time.
One reason I really appreciate this site over others, is that at least half of it is devoted to a discussion about music and performances... as it is to the quest for perfect sound.
Anyhow.. not dissing anyone here.. not my intent anyhow.. this thread just served to trigger some other observation i had knocking around..
thanks.
