    I love that, "there's no way to play it wrong." It's all subjective and a journey to get to the sound each person wants. The audiophile community could learn that lesson. You ask about equalizers opinions for a set of headphones and they get out the pitchforks calling your a heretic for trying to "alter the intended correct sound." Maybe I don't want my Graodos to "sparkle" up my ~2k range into a headache, I love them to death but I gotta turn that down a bit.

Point the Geiger counter at it and enjoy the chaos!!'

    This is so cool.

The tools all cross over and my toolkit is getting rather respectable, if I might say, but acquiring all the hardware and everything else is a whole different gig.

    Crazy collection of electronic madness. Reminds me of a while back I was talking to a guy out on the construction site I was working on and I mentioned that I was in electronic music and building my own stuff. He told me he was in ham radio and he did the same thing he built his own radios and amps. He told me it became an addiction sickness. I remember leaving that day and I couldn’t stop thinking about what he said. I have since been using VSTs And I have never looked back at hardware, other than wanting to build a really cool midi controller.
