Confronting your own realities...

[jandl100]

My Hi Fi doesn’t do music, it makes a lovely sound, but music....well, it plays a recording and that is a far cry from what music means to me.

I don't even know how to respond to that except to say that my approach is different.

Err ... yep, that sums it up for me, too, Martin!

Back to the OP ....

I have several hobbies.
One of them is music. One of them is hifi.
Happily, they are mutually supportive.

Yep, I like the Beatles. I think I’ve got most of their output. Am I saved?

Of course. The Beatles are far more important than any Ethos.

I have always thought the beatles were a little overrated. I think John Lennon on the other hand was a fantastic musician, but I'm more of a Techno Jungle acidhouse jazz person my self

I'am guessing we are all into the hi fi far to much or we would be on a music only forum.

I dont understand and more importantly don't care about measurements.

If it sounds good i like it.

I don't understand the logic there. You can love music AND want to hear it at its best. Here we can talk about the music and the technology to make it sound wonderful.

There's no need really to separate the two pursuits.

Yes, I'm with Martin on this - I love music, so why shouldn't I be interested in how best to reproduce it in my home?

I like to chat about music as well - hence my request to start up an AOS classical spinning today thread.

[chelsea]

Of course you can love both and don't we all want the best from our music.
But most of us logging into hifi forums to do that is not needed.

How many tens of thousands of folk out there with great systems don't need to use forums all the time?

[realysm42]

Music is a part of life to me, whilst most of the time that means actually listening to it, there's other facets of the gem, talking about it is one of them.

Why not log in and speak to like minded people about it?

This forum's cool because I actually feel inclined to share and discuss with people my questions and discoveries.

Interesting question and I don't know the answer to that. Would love to find out, though.
