The 'perfect' system?

[matthewpianist]

I quite like some (not all) of Steve Guttenberg’s ruminations, and I remember him saying that you know when you’ve got a good system when you keep listening to it. That “one more record” feeling. Until you realise it’s 2:30am.
Perfect? No. That’s doesn’t exist. If it did, we’d all have it.

I think that perfectly defines as close to 'perfect' as we could ever get. The music is the whole purpose of our hi-fi endeavours after all.

I agree with this. I enjoy listening to my CDs so much that I find it very difficult to switch off the system at night and go to bed. Furthermore, I never get that ear fatigue that I've read of. I find my musical listening addictive and so utterly enjoyable.

Vinyl mate, vinyl.... there is no such thing as vinyls. 😎

There's vinyl car wraps...😆

Also vinyl on the floor. My listening room actually has vinyl on the floor. Since vinyl on the floor improves the room acoustics, despite not having a turntable I am "listening to vinyl".

If anyone has a reasonable system that is able to raise its volume level to enough decibels to rattle one's gall bladder, then find yourself a copy of GONG LIVE etc, or failing that GONG YOU, listen to it, then I defy any one to think, "I do not have the perfect system". Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.🙏🏻

Quite possibly...
