I was a hard core lifetime audiophile and listened to music nightly for hours until I picked up guitar again a couple years ago. Now I just want to play my guitars instead of the hifi which cost the same as three or four new Martin Authentics. When I do listen to the hifi it sounds lifelike and wonderful whether on acoustic music, jazz, classical, or techno. It works out great to play along with CDs like when I put the Stones on and play my Les Paul through the Mesa Boogie.
Then my wife comes home. I need a bigger house.
