My first encounter with Andrea Bocelli was in the year 2000 when I as posted to Cambodia. There are not much leisure activity in Phnom Penh, so music and watching DVD movies were the major activities.
I remembered having my set up using the Mini Houston and a pair of Dali Menuet II Speakers. The set up was cheap and simple, but the joy of listening to music was truly an enjoyment. There is no hifi forum then and there was no audiophimes club in Phnom Penh but listening to music was peaceful and trully a joy.
In Hong Kong, however, the hifi scene is very mature and complicated with many audiophiles with very expensive gears as well as much activities in the various forum. However, with much people, activities inevitably bring much jealousy, conflict and "issues"..
I have stopped participating in the various forum as it is more of a place "dominated" by a few a few individuals and group rather then a place for genuine sharing and allowing differences in views and opinion to prevail. After all, listening to music is only a hobby and there can be many views and perceptions...
Con Te Partiro....Time to Say Goodbye...is a good song to summarise my feeling toards the forum..
Enjoy music : )
