I attended the Springsteen concert recently at the "Q Arena" along with thousands of other "Baby Boomers".  I was blown away by the intensity and emotion that this 60 year old rocker still had for his music.  I listened to him belt out the "Born to Run" album in its entirety with the same entensity he did 20 years ago.  It occurrred to me that he still has what many of us have lost…passion for good music!  We have become convinced that digital, compressed music played through head phones induces the same passion that great music played on a high performance sound system does. NOT!

Don't get me wrong, I understand and subscribe to the use of digital music, especially when convenience and circumstances dictate it.  I readily admit that my "IPod" is as much a part of my excercise wardrobe as my tennis shoes!

But what do you do when you have had a bad day at home or in the office?   Try sitting down with some high-performance speakers,  kick-ass sound system, and "uncompressed" music…you will re-discover what you have been missing.  If your stereo system has gone by the wayside over the years, I encourage you to seek out a Custom Audio/Video Dealer and audition one now!

Don't trade convenience for quality.  Today, we can store and distribute native music and video media without sacrificing quality.  My clients never stop thanking me for bringing music back into their lives!
