...I just wanted to add I went to a website called "Olfactory Rescue Service" and discovered that incense reviewers are just as tweaky as audiophools, and the levels of complexity and discernment exhibited is truly impressive. He pooh-poohs the lower Nippon-Kodo line as 'plebian' and 'common', and extolls the virtues of nearly $500 a box incense!
Wow. $500 a box for incense.
Now this guy REALLY sounds like an audiophool!
And then he proves it beyond a doubt, that HE'S ONE OF US, when he compares cheaper incense to listening to digital sound in the early 80's, as being harsh, annoying and uninvolving. Ouch!
Well, fuck him. I like N-K's el cheapo "Morning Star" incense line. Not afraid to admit it.
But I will be moving (slowly) up the ladder, incense-wise. I got my wife to go along with semi-expensive stereo gear, maybe expensive incense will also be something that slowly nets me in its clutches.
But right now, I'll be a simple plebe and happily enjoy my 'cheap' Japanese incenses that, to my horribly uneducated nose, smell very nice and are worth every penny.
Hope that N-K "Cedarwood" works out nicely for you, Craiger56.
Smell well!
Cheers,
WS
