It’s the Sounds and Images Stupid
2009
If you love home audio and video more than likely you spend the majority of your hobby’s time not having fun. You are either continually researching what’s new, tweaking what you already have or endlessly debating on some forum your point of view regarding the direction the field should head.
Now even if you manage to stay away from all of the above you probably still take it too seriously. Regardless of how simple or complex your audio and or video system(s) are they are designed to do one thing. Enhance your life as well as the ones around you.
In order to fulfill their duty you have to use them! Have you looked at the ads for used projectors lately? More often than not they are on their first bulb and a great number of users have spent less than an hundred hours enjoying the magic they bring. However they are anxiously trying to sell the projector so they can start the entire process all over again!
How many of your friends have whole house audio? Have you ever heard music playing over the entire house? Well if you did they were probably just trying to impress you!
The image above is from the HDNet series Get Out! and I can’t begin to tell you how much more fun it is seeing the girls and the exotic places they visit on an eight foot screen versus your traditional HD set. Everything is larger than life and the small details of the images come alive. Sure it’s not the latest greatest movie by Martin Scorsese but it’s wonderful to simply relax and appreciate the fruits of your labor.
Start using your equipment to enhance your lifestyle. Invite the neighborhood kids over for Saturday morning cartoons. Their parents for Sunday night HBO. Start a monthly bring your new album listening party. There is far too much joy to be had to take yourself or your hobby too seriously.
