“ The same should apply when listening to music or watching a film. You don’t need the most expensive system for it to be a source of joy.”
Case in point: My son and I had fun playing DJ the other night on his hand-me-down system:
A 50 year old Concord CR-250 receiver playing through a pair of 40 year old B&W DM330’s and a Polk sub…to that we connected 2 iPads playing Apple Music through their headphone outs into a 50 year old Radio Shack mixer. Well-recorded tracks like Popsicle Toes (Michael Franks) or BTO’s Blue Collar sounded surprisingly good and kind of made me wonder why I obsess about the sound of my own system so much.
