I have always been very fond of music. Music brings joy, a range of emotions, much pleasure through the ears. Listening to music for hours is a cheap enoug pass-time in itself, and when you're growing up all you care about is what is played or if you'll get away with playing it just that little bit louder, not how it sounds or how expensive the system is. I recently changed all my entertainment system pretty much at once: gone were the DVD player, the 26" LCD tv and the "budget" stereo. In fact it wasn't just a case of upgraditis. More like a rush of blood to the head, and I blame this magazine for pushing my curiosity and making me want to experience everything I had been reading while researching my first upgrade. Music holds an important part in my life and with the many years of enjoyment to come out of this current, I believe that it was money well spent and I feel confident in the knowledge that overall I probably got some very good kit for the total outlay. And now that the trepidation and excitement from them "new shiny things" has gone, it is time to return to the Music.
