Ive also been listening to some pretty incredible music like Patricia Barbers "The Premonition Years" and Holly Coles new album as welll as Metallica's black albumn, really ive been investing in higher quality music becuase I can really hear the difference with my new source and amp. So how is this for you guys? what new gear or music has done this for you? And isnt it great to feel YOUNG again? |

Doesn't the presence of something make it more easily taken for granted? Here's what I mean: Those songs that I've listened to, literally, thousands of times have sort of (understandably) lost their luster. I know what to expect, I know whats coming next. Where the creshendo is going to fall. And maybe, there's a little less attention going into those musical forms that I can completely comprehend already. Enter Hi-fi audio. The music I thought I knew so well was made more clear, and for a while, I saw it again with new eyes. Until even that becomes the new standard. And I realize that "music" as an entity in and of itself doesn't ever lose its impact, but rather..my perspective on it has lessened that impact for ME. And while I recognize that exceptions exist, (even for me) expecting your psychology to respond the same way EVERY time to the same music is almost sort of ludicrous, especially after a good period of time. And so. I think I'm perpetually searching for that next fix, usually in exposing myself to different forms, genres, derivations of known genres, etc. If we experience the same emotional resonance to a song everytime, I think we would lose the sense of the chase. (I know I would..) For me, (in the most unpretentious way possible..) I recently found Puccini's Turandot, and found myself floored that something so beautiful could have escaped me for so long. But were it not for my desire to find that "intensity" [as stated by cswann] all over again, in a different form maybe, I wouldn't have maybe ever found it. And I would argue that I would definitely argue that that would be a tragedy (ignorance=bliss aside). Oh. and I'm nineteen. -- Does that mean that I should I be worried then about what I'm "wearing out" now? Hoping this made sense! .mc |

There has never been a better time to listen to music |
