Feng shui and audio


The Dude

Recommended Posts

Not sure how Feng Shui it is.. Indeed, I'm not sure I'll ever understand exactly what it means.  But I'll make a pitch for making your system as visually appealing to your SO as absolutely possible.  

 

By  making my system look nice and tidy - no tangle of cords everywhere, no open rack of components, etc. - my lovely wife has always encouraged me to have the system in our family room. Consequently, the whole family hears what I'm listening to, and I hear what they cue up (all CD's ripped into a music server, and Roon/Tidal the past few years).  Not to be too precious about it, but it really has helped make our family close.  IMHO, music is best enjoyed as a shared experience.  When I see my kids put on their headphones, I'll ask what they're listening to, then encourage them to cue it up on the family system.  ..And I don't have headphones, so it's the main system or nothing.

 

It's important to ALWAYS find something to like about what they're listening to.  You get nowhere criticizing what others - particularly your kids - like.

I agree completely with this, although my late wife was quite understanding to having mic cables and recording gear strewn around the house when I would pretend to be an engineer and have musician friends over. The kids got used to it.

  Yin Yang and Feng Shui are  part of  Asian Medecine  ,   nothing to do with Audio .

Google moves like water, manipulated by the flow of words typed on my keyboard....when you put in "Wikipedia," knowledge crashes on the shores of Enlightenment.
