RE: "that didn't bother me in the least"

I understand, and I can identify. I equate good audio with those friends or family members over the years who were big into photography. I'd look at their 35mm prints, and if they pointed out details over a picture I took with, say, a Kodak Instamatic, sure, I could see why theirs was far better. But did I care? Nope. To me, it wasn't worth the effort and expense.

Many of them felt the same way about my audio interest. They could hear why my system was 'better', but they'd ask, "so, you just sit there and listen?". Their system was mostly background, while they were in the other room doing dishes, or out changing their oil with the windows to the house open, while the music played.

Sometimes I've envied them, and sometimes its happened to me too. The opening crescendo in Dire Straits "Money For Nothing", for example. Nearly every time I hear it, it raises goosebumps on my arms when the electric guitar cuts in. The thing is though, that has happened even when I've heard the song played on an AM radio.
