Well, I got the CD in anticipation of hosting an Oktoberfest party at some point, and I love my lagers, but this time it was red wine. In a glass. With a stem. I'm in Sonoma County after all.
I was in the process of finally organizing my CDs, and while I was doing so I listened to various CDs on my present system for the first time. As a student I used to have an Akai ghettoblaster as my "mains" and a portable Sony Discman as a CD player. Obviously, what a difference a real stereo makes! Any music, even stuff I don't really want to listen to, it's just fascinating how it becomes interesting to listen to because of the new detail, the extended frequency range, etc. A bit like picking up some object with bare hands for the first time and marvelling at its texture?
