In Reply to: most musically involving system you have ever heard ? ....... posted by trioderob on August 30, 2024 at 07:52:28:
I was in Toulouse about 15 years ago or so. I had spent the day walking around and was tired (I think a Saturday afternoon). I walked by a stereo store, and decided to pop in. In my fractured French, I tried to say I was an American audiophile. I think I managed to say I mainly listen to classical. With no further ado, the person walked me downstairs, handed me a remote, pointed to a rack of CDs and left me to listen - It was a very nice system, I couldn't tell you any of the components, but the graciousness guaranteed it was my finest listening experience outside of my home systems.
