Hi May, OK, how about the good feeling it is to know that there is a place where freeform thought and discussion are OK, and how that in itself allows me to enjoy everything more. It's the idea that if I am happier my system will sound better to me. I've proven to myself that chemically induced happiness allows me to get peak in enjoyment intensity from my music. I suspect non chemically induced happiness may have the same effect. Knowing this place exists allows a small amount of happiness in the form of being able to entertain ideas presented by others I may have never come up with on my own. This particular forum is one of the best ones I've seen yet for causing me to think about new things. I mostly just posted to try to keep the dream alive. I neglected to mention in my first post that not having a place, such as this, where it's OK to discuss parameters which "alter the subjectively perceived quality of playback, frequently with an absence of traditional/observable/measurable effects on pressure waves coming from speakers or the normally accepted signal chain" would really bum me out to where I may not enjoy listening to my music as much. A perfect example of an officially sanctioned iso ward subject if I understand the mission statement correctly. I know I've probably said things to some folks around here before that are unfair and over the few years I've been hanging around AA I am learning to regret those digressions more and more. Debating with several around here whos understanding of the universe may not be exactly parallel to my own, I like to think, has helped me mature even though I'm already 41, by helping me attain a slightly more open mind than the pinhole I am used to staring out of. I would regret it deeply if this forum and the possibility of these ineteresting subject matters coming up were suddenly to go away. " was about something regarded as weird, or even 'outrageous', 'nonsensical' by others so, eventually, THAT thread was then banished to "Isolation Ward" " It isn't right, but try and understand, it may even be human nature to shun what we don't understand. A person who may have attained some new level of enlightenment, even some of modern sciences greatest champions, is historically an outcast for a while and then later on a hero in history books when every one else finally catches up intellectualy. For example it's all to easy to look down on the homeless guy talking to the wall who may actually be the next Charles Bukowski but I'm to scared to talk to the fellow cause he's dirty and looks crazy like he may want to try and eat me for dinner or take my wallet. A person standing up for what they believe in is admirable in my eyes whether they are right or wrong. Without folks like this we are doomed to never make improvements in accepted theory. Most people are too scared to look weird and different. Regards to you, Ugly aka Kevin
