Got three decades of spending, reading, tweaking and (above all) listening. My only goal was to (finally) sit on my ass and enjoy music, without ever thinking about what is reproducing it and how it "come into being" from whatever info is on the recording and whatever hits my eardrums.
I wanted to listen to music without caring if the soundstage is wide enough, tall enough or deep enough, or if the imaging gets the picture just right. Screw it, Michael: when listening to Billie Holiday - or Shine On, You Crazy Diamond, or November Rain, or Sketches of Spain - I don't give a rat's ass about the size of the soundstage or other audipphile attributes: it's fine if the hair on the back of my neck raises adn I can feel the pain, the joy and the pleasure to sing of whoever is performing.
So honestly, I don't see myself tuning my system for each and every record I'm in the mood to play, and even less waiting for everything to "settle in" before I pour a glass of single malt and start listening.
This being said, I still genuinely appreciate what you're trying to offer to the audiophile community and I wish you good luck! It's just that "old me" is too old and too tired to start the war all over again, so I'd rather enjoy what I have, i.e. sit on my ass and just listen to music!
All the best,
Costin
