I know all too well what it's like to enjoy music so much that you don't want to stop listening. But it looks like you still have a lot of set up to do. It's gotta be hard to sit on that futon. Ouch. Looks like a great start. Glad you're enjoying it.
You're right I still have quite a ways to go.... but I'm loving every minute of it! I mean..... wow, if someone could only hear this thing.... the speakers! AAAHHH! Look... I'm playing music that I have always played; I'm hearing ever so subtle instruments and strings, and tingles and bells that I have never heard! I'm not new to music, it's not like this is my first time listening to a nice system. Granted, I've never had a $2000 set of speakers before... but still. I mean... can these speakers really be making that much of a difference??!!
Listen, I was listening to "Here my Dear" by the late Marvin Gaye, I heard some sweet, soothing strings in a fashion that I have never even heard before. I didn't even know such a refined passage of strings were ever in this song, the strings put me in the mind of soft music blowing on the wind, carried by a gently flowing breeze. Okay, yea I used to write a little poetry; but my point is, I guess, if I had to sum it up, that good equipment that normally I would not have been able to afford had I not got a deal on it seems to be making a difference, that I almost never found out about.
Listen, a friend came over, and I put on a Smokey Robinson Concert DVD, eventaully, I had to practically put him out of my house, he didn't want to leave! All I can say is I consider this a hell of an investment for a music lover!
