B12 and I chatted about music as we often do, and he told me about some new hi-fi info. We're different in our music appreciation cos he's more an audiophile while I'm not that discerning about sound quality. He said that's partly why he's more into classical music while I'm not, cos sound quality comes across better in live performances. He can tell the difference in CD sound quality by their country pressings, but I just can't. Then I asked him what he was looking for when he first knew he could hear music differently from other people? He replied that he was looking for the integrity of sound. Somehow that sounded wonderful.

The integrity of sound.
