Music to my Ears

It's getting very near my birthday. So I coerced my wife into buying me a 2.1 sound system to go on my PC. Today it arrived (thankyou Amazon for a very speedy delivery). I was very good - I did all the chores around the house that I had planned before I opened the package then spent a few minutes plugging in this and connecting that and finally the big moment - switch on!
Yes!
Yes!!
Yes!!!
Goodbye to flat tinny sounds from inadequate PC speakers. My media players will never sound the same. Rich sounds, bass you can really hear (and control) !
Playing through some representative tracks I have stored on my PC I listened to Swearingen, Saint-Saens, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Phil Collins - all took on the characteristics of being played on a decent hi-fi.
To a music lover like me the difference is like being deaf and suddenly being cured.
Thank you Ros for a truly appreciated birthday present.
