So being an auditor is actually kinda tough. After an Extreme summer year end audit, I needed some pick me up (calm down, i enjoyed the team and the client, just not the hours). So I rewarded myself by spending about what i earned that last month on 3 Hi-Fi speakers (2 CM 8's and a CM Centre) and another subwoofer. 2 of which are important for this discussion as stereo is the recording staple. Remember, this blogger has no apologies for bragging, in fact, i'm even more awesome than the aforementioned speakers, but as I have difficulty in expressing my own awesometasticness, think of these speakers as a metaphor of your humble author. Anyways, i progress... when the amplifier is set to Stereo, there is nothing between you and the music. As my mother mentions whenever we go to an orchestra or really any live performance, the music of the ancient masters is being brought back to life and the concert hall is effectively a reanimation hall. Its an interesting thought that the music can be brought to life again. I say this because the goal of any Hi-Fi system is to replicate reanimation halls. While recently listening to Ravel's phenomenal Daphne and Chloe, my dad noted that one could practically hear the instruments being plucked, banged, or bowed... as opposed to only hearing the end sound. It was as if you could hear the music being brought to life.
Anyways, i've been having heaps of fun reanimating my collection. Radiohead's Everything in its Right Place transports me to a postmodern computer isolated landscape like never before. I'm tempted to get the Beatles box set so i can get the best sound quality... ah come on, might as well get reanimated properly to the swingin sixties. Ben Folds stomping on his Piano...Jack White shredding the blues...Pinback with their perfectly crafted pop, Weepies for some mellow love songs... all this and more really do have an added depth now.
So moral of the story, i used to be rich :D now you all should come over and behold their beauty.
