We all love music on this ng. Some strive for perfection, some are so

Shure cartridge test LP over and over:-) Does it matter if we have
valves,
transistors, washing boards or tea chests. Let's all ENJOY.

I agree. The equipment is incidental ( beyond some modest requirement )
but can
make the experience more rewarding when it's very good.

Heck, some of the most enjoyable musical experiences I can recall were in
the
damn CAR !'

In the back seat of course:-)

For a lot of people, a large outlay on a high.end system is not required.
They are happy with a modest system. These are fortunate people.
Others will probably never reach Nirvana.

I have a friend, a well-heeled surgeon, who used to change his system
more often than most of us change our socks. From the start of this
year he has been using a valve amp and a pair of open baffle speakers,
and is the happiest I have seen him for a long time.
