I'm bored with hi-fi.

You make a fair point. I'm looking at it from the perspective of storage, converting it from the original wav. format to FLAC frees up space on my SSD and thus, more music on the disk with no discernible differences in the sound quality.

Not the conversion to FLAC, I do that too, I meant the upscaling to 88KHz sample rate.

Sorry I'm losing it .
It's more out of habit.
I think maybe I'm getting less if I'm not upscaling it to 88KHz sample rate? Probably all in my head

I can't do that. We only live in a small two bedroom bungalow with a tiny kitchen.

Me too but I have a fiancee that came post hifi so it's dominated by two large hi-fi's just the way I like it.
I love the aesthetics of hifi aswell as it's sound.
From my somewhat vintage set up in the livingroom which has me regularly questioning the validity of claims things have gotten better with modern kit over the yrs to my modern hifi in the bedroom/listening room with nearly 4 ft speakers when the spikes are taken into account.

Although since meeting her a slow process of putting things on top of my speakers has began which drives me nuts.
But all in all it pleases me to watch her get pleasure out of using them.

I suppose I love music that much as soon as I see a new room of mine I'm into thinking how to fill it with the sound I love.

Yeah but Mrs. P and our daughter live here. A second system is a no no.

"No...no...no!" as Thatcher once said.
Fiancee to wife process is subject to above process stopping.
If it helps, tell her Gray on the forum said so (it won't help 😆).

I will certainly try.....
I share my listening room with over 30 stitch characters of hers too, one of them nearly 4ft tall and just as plump which had me actually catch myself making claims that they ruin my room acoustics once. 😂

...But presumably she's got a nice personality.

EDIT:
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the fiancee.

 

[plastic penguin]

Aaaaand, back on topic.

(Very) slowly but surely falling back in love with music.

Any specific track or album that brought you back to your musical senses?

Yup, plenty of Soul & 1990s grunge and Brit pop

 

[ianrjones]

Beatles White Album, then several hours of old Beatles CD's.
Then I got bored. Watched more Prof. Alice Roberts.

A good sense of humour isn't lost on me.
Gave me a smile 😊
