As a young single dude I bought a nice component system. My girlfriend at the time was wondering why I wasn’t saving for a ring.

She’s gone.

Still have the stereo. Worked out best for both of us.

I have a bunch of older amps/receivers but they can’t hold a candle to the new stuff unless they get refurbished. The capacitors go bad with age. Our financial advisor told us “It’s time to buy the things you have always wanted”. Ironically, someone gave me the Vandersteens.

Youare absolutely right. If your prospective mate is found to have no interest in good music, particularly in not only enjoying but also performing it, there is no point in going on, is there?

Fine music requires a taste for it, and an understanding of the hearts of its composers for a full appreciation of the words and chord progressions that carry one along.

Without the bonding and intimacy of that shared experience, the relationship will likely, in time, falter.
