If you play this through ear buds, even today's best, what you hear is simply not the same. Those stores always had sample music to show off the equipment, and more than one store had this album because the production was so clear - lots of ear candy when played at volume through the right speakers. Lord knows I had no money for the good stuff, but one could dream. When I was a teenager in the 70's I would visit high-end stores just to fantasize about owning audiophile grade gear. I am one of those 70's guys! Still dreaming of a system with a Thorens record deck, Naim pre/power amplifier and Linn Sondek speakers. No one ever bought them, but everyone was impressed. I remember we had a pair of Klipschorn speakers that this song really came alive on. I worked in an electronics shop in the very early 1980s for a year after graduating from high school, and this is one of the songs I used to demo stereo systems. He only sees young shoppers when he's abroad, especially the far east, Korea, Japan, etc. He observes that in north American stores, only old-ish guys are shopping for high-fidelity (when was the last time you heard that term?) gear. A guy being interviewed on the radio said he travels the world (I can't remember why now, but it was unrelated to music) and pops in to high-end audio stores whenever he gets the chance. If you play this through ear buds, even today's best, what you hear is simply not the same.Īpparently fewer young American listeners care about this now. Those stores always had sample music to show off the equipment, and more than one store had this album because the production was so clear - lots of ear candy when played at volume through the right speakers.
