How are you listening today?

Perhaps just as important as the "What are you listening to today?" mega-thread, is how.

I ask because Mrs. LWJ floated that she wants to take MY office space and turn it into HER space. Which means, that I get to grab her old space as mine. Considering that I have only had a garage to call my own space in the 32 years we have been married, I started to dream about what that could mean. It could mean that I could have my own sound system. So I hopped right on that. While we have many options for music and AV at home, they are all in public or shared spaces.

I grabbed a mid-level receiver from a pawnshop and brought it home. I had an old pair of speakers that I had always liked but never got around to discarding and what do you know? I have tunes in my office. I was sort of up in the air about sources to feed to my receiver, and intend to get a turntable and some vinyl. But for now, the pawnshop had demo'ed the receiver with streaming from Tidal. And it sounded very good.

Which brings me to my point. I plugged my Macbook Air into the receiver and streamed Dark Side of the Moon straight from Youtube. And got the shivers. This is supposed to be a low quality source, so more research is needed.

Which begs the question: How are you listening today?
