This was almost going to be a different post, but that one requires a bit more thought and clarity. So this is one pending from (cough) about a month ago...
Background: I used to have Not My Stereo in the living room. It started being precious about CDs. I returned it to its rightful owner (not because of the CD problem, honest). After it had started being precious, I started using iTunes more and more for listening to music downstairs. And then upstairs too, as my stereo upstairs started doing the same thing.
During a recent quartet night dinner, as usual some music was playing. Through iTunes. Reasonably good sound quality, and about the same as what I would get from the Not My Stereo (unless I cranked the volume, which I wouldn't). Later, I was at the other violinist's place, enjoying their surround-sound stereo, and they asked if I ever used speakers. Um, no... I had been contemplating the idea of an iPod dock, but hadn't got very far in contemplation. Would I like their old speakers? Um, yes please...? So now I have speakers. Amazing difference in sound. There are bits of pieces and songs previously unheard, and other bits I remembered but didn't have to imagine anymore, and the bass - wow! I don't use them all the time (location, for one thing), but when I do it is so good.
