Awakening from a slumber...love it here
It has been a hard ten years but that is over now.
I just had a baby girl named Eloise. Eloise Elizabeth (after my mom who passed in 2012) I'm 38, left a 12 year career in finance and became a nurse 2 years ago and I love music. I love music but I don't listen to it anymore....how can this be. I've have been questioning myself a lot lately, about what it is I want, what I want for my daughter. I decided I want to show my daughter music. I want my daughter to see the depth that can be had in life. I know no other arena with that depth like music. For me music is a religion of sorts, it aligns me to see what is casting the greater shadow over all things. It moves me unlike anything else in this world. I am sick of saving money for some far off date in the future. I have been very lucky in the market for years and have only reinvested my gains. That is over now. I am going to get my "retirement" stereo system now! I am sick of not spending my money on my passions and instead squandering it here and there on random non sense or I just save it all. No more. I love it here. It is great finding a place with like minded people from all over the world. I hope to meet some local people here in Dallas. From here on out I am going to immerse myself in music. I am going to enjoy and explore this passion and share it with my new baby. I'm going to start living now. Thanks! |
You only get one chance at this life so it is up to each of us to select the path that helps us best achieve our goals.

Congratulations! Having a baby is one of the most wonderful experiences of a lifetime.
Your plan on enhancing your life with music is of course a great thing. I was also out of music for a few years and really missed it. Felt so good to get back into it again. With a newborn I doubt you will find much time to enjoy a 2 channel system for the next few years as they are either sleeping, napping or hungry or crying or need their diapers changed. :D I could not enjoy music for quite a few years when my sons were born 2 years apart. It was worth it. :D Just something to think about. There are always great headphones to privately listen to music so as not to disturb anyone else in the house. That's what I did when the kids were young and I am back into headphones again and in no rush to get back to 2 channel. :dunno: It is in my plans but I am having a lot of fun listening anytime I want without driving my wife crazy with all my music. :D In any case, good luck with your plans and this is definitely the right place to be with if looking for advice or guidance. :yes: |
"Baby in the house" stereo system for mom and dad. :D

Kudos to you. I waited later in life to buy a dream system, and I wish I’d given myself permission to do it sooner. Enjoy!

I for one have been extremely grateful to have a good stereo system that my kids can enjoy. My son even as a baby loved listening to music and would sleep to it in the evenings. We are having a second kid in July that I also plan to have listening sessions with as a newborn...baby in ergo + music + rocking chair = heaven
Enjoy your system! |

I was thinking the same thing and have been looking at the Audeze for awhile! My plan was to go all out on the preamp and the turntable. I have some powered monitors I can use for now, get the headphones....then get the MC2301's I want along with the GoldenEar Reference! |

This is how I feel, it has been a real internal battle to break out of my finance mind and spend some coin on this. It will be hard to do but I know this will make me happy for the rest of my days, and that is a purchase I can get behind. |

Currently I have been playing her some Mozart from my Mac and that seems to put her down nicely. Can't wait to have something more fulfilling. |
