Anyhow, I like your idea about the "memories" but not in the context how you used it.

I kind of semi-write about it in the thread about the “Remembering Sound”:

http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=3149

but in the even with my new old Schaub & Lorenz this subject have risen again. The subject is “how we remember sound”. it is very possible that my Schaub & Lorenz is juts shity radio or had some specific problem that nned to be addressed  making sound not as good as I remember. However, most likely the Schaub & Lorenz is fine and it is my memory that makes me to feel that 30 years a back what I heard from old table radio was more stimulating that it in fact was.

I was impressed with those old radios in my teens and I am critical about them in my 40s. Was it Sound that we are dealing with in this case or we are dealing with a mind returning back to own past and find super-positive sensation about own youth?  I sense the latter is more likely.

I feel that my mind over-values own sensations. I do not have another mind and I do not know how it works with other people. The Last year I had an interesting experience. When I was 18 years old I was in love. It was not the first woman in my life but it was the first high amplitude love, the love that I did not know how to manage at time, I am sure we all were there. Everything was over at my 19, what I went to Army for 2 year, then the lives when sot different directions… Last year she found me somehow via internet and we exchange emails and spoke. That was amassing experience for me. I expected from myself to enjoy my memories about her. I did enjoy but the amassing part was that in those memories I found pleasure about my own sensations about her and pretty much discarded her as the object of my sensations. That super egotistic memory of mine made me to think what nostalgia about anything, including Sound or first love, is not about longing for something or somebody in past but rather longing for own early life. Sure, I do not say it to her; I was so indifferent about her that I did not even felt pleasure to insult her with this revelation.

Perhaps I am egotistic not only in audio or perhaps Russians are right when the say that one can’t walk into the same river twice…

So, I do not think it is the Schaub & Lorenz problem but rather my hyper-positive memories about what I sensed in my teens… I wish the change of a capacitor or a rectifier would be able to tweak it….
