Back in the good old days, late 70s and early 80s, I was just a nose on the window audiophile. I had a decent H/K amp and some good speakers (Radian Research. Anyone ever hear of those?) But mostly I just gazed longingly at pictures in magazines discussing equipment I couldn't afford.
The one part of this article that really hit home was "just" listening to music. I do that now and my son thinks I'm beyond weird. I tried though. When he was old enough I got him a decent Yamaha receiver, some M3s, and a Hsu sub ... and he connected his iPod to it. Sigh. Still I hold out hope that he was properly seeded.
Thanks for posting the link.
